The
wholesale grocer George Crosfield of Liverpool responds to a retail customer
who’s complained of short measure by suggesting that some may have gone missing
in transit:-
Respected
Friend Mr Thomas,
We
have received thy favour with Bill amount fifty-five pounds and are much
obliged. The Rice and Sugar was
correctly weighed when it left our warehouse as our Clerk can certify and no
mistake because it agreed with the weight charged us (ie for carriage).
It
might be that there was not sufficient allowance for the crafty Carter.
Sugar
market is steady.
Yours
respectfully, Geo Crosfield
