If I could by this conveyance send you my pox I would but C.W. will not take it now I have taken the liberty of getting my letters directed to you. I will esteem it a favour if you will take charge of them and send them to me and If you do not approve of it let me know.
I and George have made preperations for a vessel and got wood &c. collected and it would have been far on if we had not waited for the societys to go on first. But if the societys vessel is delayed much longer or we are to have nothing to do with it or to it, we intend to go on as we can with the other. It is not in the least out of opposition to the Society and if you or your son Thomas like to join and have one third of her we would make it a mutual benefit and in that case we shall want you or your son to send us Iron for bolts and some other Iron work and a pit saw.
If you will not have any thing to do with the vessel yet have the goodness to send us the pit saw and we will send you returns as soon as we can get a conveyance.
Let this letter be in confidence. If we do the societys first we shall send to you again before we shall want the iron work except the saw. I have plenty of spikenails and some iron besides. peace be with you
Mrs B joins in love to you and Mrs Hassall and family
Yours affect &c. H. Bicknell
