Title
Letter from Barry & Hayward, Queenhithe, London, acting as London agents for Thomas Turner.
One of the partners was C J Barry.
1 sheet.
Refers to difficulty of goods getting to him
Premium exceedingly high due to late season and tempestuous weather - 90 shillings per hundred weight - better than insuring in New York (19 months delay, lower premium than London)
Rise in insurance all manufactured goods especially cottons and woollens
Freight shilling per foot (rather than 9d) goods to be delivered at St Andrews at ship's expense as order for hardware small, trying Deane's again
ordering earthenware from Buxtons of Liverpool
regrets loss on the bonnets
Must have "Protest" by Captain re. damage; hope satin paper they are sending will have ready sale - amazing quantity of it sold in England
Glad Hangings gone off, hope will be able to send larger orders for them, as amount on Bond reduces proportionately
