W(illia)m Routh (partner in the London House), to William Crawshay (II), Merthyr Tidvil,

Observations on Letter 464 and an account of the arguments adopted by recipient's father in conversation with the writer; the father seems to treat the proposal as an attempt to turn him out and enquires why attention is not given to George and Richard Crawshayth, ones who have never worked; he would continue in business in the Paul's Wharf Warehouse if bought out of George Yard. [Inscribed on Letter 466(b)].

W(illia)m Routh (partner in the London House), to William Crawshay (II), London,

His attempt to explain that recipient had not allowed the subject of an increase in price to be discussed at the meeting.

The unwillingness of the partners in the London House to embark on the Rumney Venture, which would require an outlay of £200,000 in Capital and which, if run for recipient and his father only, would revive the discord recently removed by the partnership rearrangement. Recipient's father if the proposal is abandoned, will attend the sale and force up the price to an unprofitable level for Bailey.

Routine advices. [Inscribed on Letter 500(a)].
