      Should be glad to hear you had gott way leave to your Colliery to your satisfaction

      I perceive there has been a stop of trade Occasioned by the Master’s Combination, but I hope that cannot continue long if Bills cannot be had must content my selfe with moneys in lieu of them, tis Onely the trouble of a journey for Mewburne
