To E R Payne & Son, stone merchant
Coleford
You say in yours of 27th February that the stone is to delivered at Stonehouse. I cannot send you the letter as you request but I can show it to anyone you may send. The Midland Railway Co's clerk has taken a copy. PS The stone I had from Fishponds was delivered to Stonehouse at 2s 6d and I decided to have some of yours as it was cheaper although not so good. If yours is to come up at that price I shall have a harder and better stone from Fishponds for no more.
