Goldsmiths Hall, London
Particulars re Griffin’s Bridge forwarded for you to submit a case for Counsel’s opinion.
No payment made by Mason & Co. Bill for grain by their boats in name of Keckwick, son of Mr Mason’s wife by a former husband. Looks very suspicious. Need to recover money from Mason & Co.
Today £1250 with half year’s interest on £3750 becomes due from Cheltenham & Great Western Union Railway Co.
Because of recent rains I hope the Engine will not be required for several months. Coal trade not so brisk. The trade must be dull after Christmas as the wharfs have all heavy stocks on them.
