Summary
Discussing Backhouse's purchase of a bellows; reporting that he has "sent over the nozzles" and "given an order for the gudgeon"; noting that he is "busy packing in order to move next week," but he intends to see Backhouse before he goes; asking if he can "spare a gallon of rum" as he has "not a dram to give the people when [he] move[s] and can get none here."
