Thu 17 Oct 1872
To J Chapman, coal merchant
Chalford
re: Cargo of boat Thomas Edwards, delivered to Brimscombe and an account sent to you. However, no account given by William Smith, steerer, of the coal unloaded on 12 Sept at Upper Wharf, Stroud. Please send the cash; I have paid the T&S Canal their share. Please ask your men to be careful in giving correct statements of their cargo. Pencil note: Paid by cash Oct 25th 1872.
