Letter – Nicholas Walton to Peter Mulcaster – 17 Mar 1775
Mr Mulcaster. Farnacres 17th March 1775.
As I should think it likely that the Mountain Ash, or Wicken Tree as it is more commonly called, would make good <Stampen> for the Stamp Mill, I desire you will get some Person to ask Wm Labourne abt that, and if it is thought the Wood will answer, let it be cut accordingly and as the Holly and other Wood will pack better in the House and take up less room if blocked out for the use it is intended, I would
