Transcript or Index	John Ward sailed . . . . . from Liverpool on the 19th . . . . I have shipped your large planning machine . . . . from Liverpool early next month. The iron trade continues very brisk although wages rise in proportion. Although I retire from business I shall always take a lively interest in the concern . . . . . This year I hope we shall make about 14,000 tons of iron and the next may reach 17,000 . . . . . . as we shall have another furnace in blast next month . . . . .
