| Description | The pearl-ash arrived yesterday. M. R. Boulton is concerned that Broadwood & Son may have misunderstood Miss Walker’s directions, and that consequently the conveyance of the musical instrument will be delayed; therefore he wishes Mosley to see the parties involved, to remove any obstacles. Boulton also wishes Mosley him to send some “Officer’s Biscuits,” concerning which he may consult James Weston, if necessary. Miss Boulton wishes Mosley to speed the return of her white swan’s-down tippet, which she sent to Brunswick & Co. to be cleaned.
Soho, November10th, 1810.
Sir,
I was duly favored with your letter by the last box. The pearl-ashes therein advised of came to hand yesterday.
Mr. Boulton is apprehensive that some delay may ensue in the dispatch of the musical instrument, in consequence of Messrs. Broadwood & Son, through misapprehension of the directions given by Miss Walker, probably expecting that you wou’d call upon them respecting its safe conveyance. To obviate the possibility of such a difficulty Mr. Boulton desires me to say that he shall feel himself greatly obliged if you will have the goodness to see the parties and remove all obstructions. Mr. Boulton will also thank you to send him some officer’s biscuits, as they are called, and he observes that if this description of the article is not sufficient Mr. James Weston will give you the necessary information, and especially where they are to be procured.
Miss Boulton sent by the hand of Mr. John Bownas to Messrs. Brunswick & Co., furriers, opposite the Mansion House, a white swan’s-down tippet to be cleaned, with directions to send it back through the medium of your house. Being much in want of it Miss Boulton begs you will do her the favor to send an enquiry after it, and to get it sent back as soon as possible.
I am, sir, your most obedient servant,
Wm. Cheshire |
