From John R Denyer
To Owner Ball
I am quite surprised at the conduct of your son William respecting the Bricks loaded at Framilode … I found they remained at Framilode untouched. Seven men have again been Idling away their time a second time the expense of which amounting already to several pounds - I certainly will make you accountable …
I did want a Cargo or two of Best Bilston Coal but after the treatment I have received with the Bricks I certainly cannot think of employing you.
