From John R Denyer
To G. Palmer Esq
Received a letter from Mr Parker wishing me to second a proposal to charge only 2s 6d a ton on all articles. Consideration of carriage of marble to London. Mr George most proper person to convey it to Brimscombe Port having vessels at Bullo Pill adjoining the works almost daily.
Called on Messrs Ridler & Butt in Gloucester, Tallow & Soap Merchants alluded to as having encouraged the Fly Boat trade. Fly Boat trade in its infancy & done little to increase tonnage on Canal but system of reshipping at Brimscombe must be abolished & ought to be abolished at Abingdon.
