From John R Denyer
To Messrs Bowerman & Son
Sorry to see Skinner put into coal trade at a period when goods are waiting at Gloucester for a conveyance.
Correct weights do not accompany goods in many instances & am fully satisfied Jones’ boat has little short of 2 tons more than entered. Believing as I do that such error takes place previous to the articles coming into your possession you must suffer to a still greater extent than ourselves.
