| Description | (Directed to John Motteux’s.)
[Mr. Newbold has a fresh Agreement for 2 more Kilns wherein will be a great many exceeding good front Bricks at 15/6 per mil., which will complete the whole of the mansion and outbuildings, reckoning those already on the premises. Mr. Wyatt has been written to to send you the requested elevation immediately. Mr. Sawyer’s shops in Edmund Street took fire owing to the excessive heat in the Casting Shop and has done him considerable damage: this gave the town an opportunity of seeing the very bad plight of their Engines, and how necessary your order was for two new ones, one of which should be of such a size as to go into our narrow entries. I think also as you have ordered one for Soho, it would be useful to buy a few leathern buckets which are sold in St. Paul’s Churchyard.] |
