Date29 January 1778
Description(Directed to Mr. Matthews’, Green Lettice Lane.)
[Robert A. Cox writes that the market for gold and silver is now so high that he cannot serve us upon the old terms: I shall send to Mrs. Lucas tonight and if we can get none there we must wait until you can relieve us. We have got the other double Lathe at work today, but the Machine for turning the Circles in the Buttons will not yet do. Mr. Du Roveray has sent an order for 95 gross Steel Buttons: it would not be amiss to enquire as to his stability.]
