| Description | (Directed to William Matthews’, Green Lettice Lane.)
[I have not been able to learn any more particulars respecting Bill Hancocks connections with his brother Jack and Mr. Raynor except that F[rancis] E[ginton] says he brings in very little work and he finds that a Casting Pot full of silvering stuff is prepared at a time and taken to Birmingham where Hancocks spends much time. Hancock has had a good deal of money advanced while he was fitting up his shop and making a complete set of tools and now these are made his men are all turned off except a little boy from whom his secrets transpire.] |
