Title29 December 1812
London. William formally to Co - enclosing Habgoods sales for November - £182.8s 1d due in cash June 4 1813. Ducks sold abominably low. Rest gone off at fair prices. Habgoods say their ducks not worth more.
Goods not advancing much. Some articles up a little. Paid into Jones, Loyd & Co here £200 drawn on Habgood at 4 months due in cash 18 April 1812. Piece account with Poole & Co not settled yet.
30 Dec (addendum) now heard from Mr Finch Attended meeting of H Smith & Co's creditors everything connected with Bickers affairs grows worse after inspection - Bickers anything but an honest Trademan and Smith anything but a man of sense. He and another young man formerly shopmen for a concern Mr B had in Margate and though Smith left Margate and Mr B's employ more than 12 months ago yet bills have been issued in point name of those 2 young men upon John Bickers & Co to amount of £1,600 not due yet and holders are entitled to prove upon Smith's estate in Westminster - though in point of equity business is as unconnected with it as father's own. Not likely that Smith estate will yield more than a few shillings in £. Previously expected 10-12 s in £. Second meeting of Bickers creditors next Saturday.
