Dear Friend,
The enclosed I received yesterday. It was your letter I sent to Mr. Hood, the agent to Carron Co. in London.
Wiggin & Graham furnish the India Company with a part of their artillery.
I am ever yours,
Samuel Garbett

Letter. J. Stainton (Carron) to Samuel Garbett (Birmingham). 9 Oct. 1793.
(Signed for the Carron Company.)
Sir,
A few days ago Mr. Hood transmitted us some queries relative to the quantities and prices of military stores we would undertake to furnish a friend of yours. In answer to which, permit us to acquaint you that under our present engagements it is not in our power to furnish any quantity.
I have the honour to be, with the most perfect consideration, sir, your very obedient humble servant,
J. Stainton, manager
For Carron Co.
