To Wood & Ivery, brick manufacturers
West Bromwich
Hardly think the boat will be at your works Monday next, as called yesterday and said he had to fetch a load of coal from Cannock and could not fetch the bricks, so will have to get another boat from Gloucester. You can put in some of the "blue on flat"" so that the client can compare them with ""Blue on edge"" and see which he likes best. You can get the brick ready and I will let you know when it is likely a boat will be at your works."
