Wed 12 May 1830
From John R Denyer
To G. Palmer Esq
No. 2 Royal Exchange, London
Intended calling in but left London 3 days earlier than expected. Respecting interview with Mr Harding he was desirous of disposing of the stone of this Country by Commission but no stone to offer him nor by what any is to find its way into the London Market. The quarrymen here not possessed of any capital and not infrequently Company obliged to advance money to raise the stone. Mr Harding would be an acquisition to anyone embarking in the trade but unless furnished with the stone it amounts to nothing.
Proceedings as fast as possible with crane for Cirencester Wharf. Hope the Fly Boats will keep it constantly in motion.
Stroud Co. have another stoppage for 10 days to put new aqueduct at Ebley, Mr Ames advertised it as stoppage of T&S Canal.
