To Owner Ball

In future send a note with the barge stating description of Coal on board. Featherstones Barge now unloading cargo of 13s Coal to Mr Baker which appears very good. You can send similar cargo to Featherstones or one boat load of Best Kemps Deepfield made up with Best Lump Coals, the lumps to be good sized.
Sorry to hear your wife still unwell.
