| Description | Letter to Mr. Riddel: "Dear Sir, the Blossom arrived at St. Davids on Monday night and delivered the letter to Mr. Lyle who said he could not load (?) in less time than ten days. They have five large ships loading for the London Market that will take upwards of five thousand tons. I brought the ship roundnhere and found a ready turn and am now loading a cargo of excellent (?) coals which I am sure will give you satisfaction. They are the same quality usually load[ed] at St. David's but much superior to the last cargo in load. From your most obedient servant, David Talbot. P.S. We are loading with Mr. Henderson, Mr. Rogers is their agent."
