Transcript or Index	. . . . . I was rather surprised to find that Mr Ward should tell Mr Glyn that the worst thing I ever did was to sell the coal mine - do you think if they had not been sold that the Butterly Company claims would have been reduced so much as they have been? . . . . . I am afraid I shall be driven to take some situation if times do not mend both here and with you as your remittances through Parker are insufficient to pay my childrens schooling and my office expenses . . . . . . . Mr Ward further says he intends opening some new mines . . . . . pray do not encourage any wild schemes but endeavour to reduce your liabilities . . . . . . . Mr Brown has taken out a patent for manufacturing steel from Codnor Park Iron
