| Description | (Directed to William Matthews’, merchant, Green Lettice Lane.)
[Mr. E[ginton’s] Account is finally settled and he has signed it: the Balance in his favour was 2/6 after he had paid the rent of the land he had belonging to Hockley Brook Farm which was £17-10-0 for 2 years: he seems very much hurt at his discharge. I believe he would now be glad with 100 guineas a year provided he could be reinstated. Mr. Thomas Moore writes that the lease of Holford Mill is to be sold and giving you the preference: my opinion is in favour of your building a Rolling Mill at Soho: your plating business has suffered for want of rolling and is likely to suffer more.] |
