| Description | (Directed to 14 Cannon Street.)
[Our steel Chain trade languishes much for want of new patterns &c., as likewise our Buckle trade in general, Tortoise and Gilt Boxes, Gilt Chains and indeed most of our current articles must have some of your attention when you return. I daily perceive the frenchmen in general are a heavy charge on the Manufactory: last Saturday, a week’s work was brought in by one of them who charges 25/- per week, which might have been executed by Turner in this town for 5/-, but I would not like to despatch any of them without your concurrence. Audley the surgeon and Hayward the button-maker are dead.] |
