Letter – Nicholas Walton to Peter Mulcaster – 28 Nov 1785
Messrs. Mulcaster Farnacres 28 Nov. 1785
We have a letter from Mr. Menham in which he says that the Rollers were sent off last Friday, so that we hope they are now with you, as also the Iron which we ordered in consequence of your Letter, but we much doubt that whether the Rollers will be found to answer or not, as we fear the hollow part of them will not be found to be cylindrical; indeed we believe neither Mr. Menham nor Mr. Wood have been to blame concerning the delay, unless

We this Afternoon recd. your Letters of the 23rd. & 27 Inst both under the same Cover, and are very much surprised by the friendly Intimation you have given respecting James Watson and Wm. Wilson the Carrier. We cannot help thinking that Watson has behaved extremely ill in never mentioning the matter before. It is impossible for us to enter into it further than to say we will never employ Wilson again unless he clears up this matter, a

We have recd. your Letters of the 25t. & 26th.
