Can make ten pieces gray this month - how soon they reach London depends on bleacher and John's brother William. Only two reeds that will make them. Cost price, grey, 11d of a yard. Will now be from ½ to 1d lower. Bleaching (he believes) 1/3 a piece - 1/- John thinks sure article for trade, can make ten to twenty pieces weekly. Addendum from father. Approve of insuring stock. Sun Fire Office say new policy necessary that no charge for it but business best done in London. George Morewood will give John his opinion when he comes to town. Finch calculating to make 80 pieces a week - this week's production 148 and many more broad ones. Shall be pinched for money for some time and shall send William about £60 of his own and draw him £100 on Jones for Gardom which writer hopes he will find sufficient for all Tuesday's calls.
