From John R Denyer
To J S Salt
London
Never was there such a time for navigations … River Severn at Stourport only 10 inches water. Thames is low. Canals from Manchester to Stourport completely dry for 50 miles. Goods conveyed in wagons. Oxford Canal coals selling at Abingdon at 40s per ton due to scarcity of water.
James Millard’s wife’s mother died a few months since.
