Series 12: James Hassall, letter book, 1827-1846, 1862-1870: No. 23

Liverpool markets for the last two years, and may be equally defunded on this,- Those bales marked No 2 on the end contain wool from Merino Ewes crossed by Saxon Rams, and of a very superior quality. If you can prevail on any of the Manufacturers to work into cloth one of these Bales you will very greatly oblige me, Should you succeed in this, one half I wish to be blue, the other black, and to be transmitted through you to me, as early as possible. Of course I must leave the selection of the clothier to you, who I hope will not send me cloth with a single ounce of any other wool but my own. All those Bales marked at the end IFR or H may be depended on as having experiond every possible care in washing &c and I shall be happy to hear of their bringing a good price. As all English goods are abundant in the market I shall be obliged to you to transmit me the balance of proceeds in cash, or bills on your Agents here.

I am Gentln your most
