| Description | [Herewith is the Sword Hilt for Mr. Gray which you may think is highly priced, but it is no more than it should be according to its cost: the small beaded work is all done with a file and is endless work. We have scarcely any orders and begin to feel the effects of the Emperor’s Edict which I fear will prove a fatal one to the town of Birmingham. Should Russia follow the steps of Denmark and Germany we may convert half our shops into Poor Houses.] |
