From John R Denyer
To L & R Wyatt
Oxford
Request details of cost & expense of importing Wednesbury & Harecastle Coal to Oxford by that Canal & selling price & boat load & retail.
Heard Oxford Canal Co. purchasing quantity of very worst sort of Forest Coal & selling at Oxford (I don’t know how they got it there) to persuade the inhabitants that although cheap it is good for nothing such a report must be false.
