| Description | Letter to the Harbour Trustees: "Gentlemen, I hereby make offer to cover two sheil roofs on the quay wi Marine Metal weighting- 32oz per foot for the sum of seventy pounds ten shillings each roof, say £141. I however take the liberty of stating that after all the formation I have strained regarding this metal, it is not such as to enable me either to reconstruct, or discommend, the use of it for roofing, as all that the pattentees say is, that little has yet been used for that purpose. I am Gentlemen, your most obedient servant, George Cleiriheid." |
