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.

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.
