W(illiam) C(rawshay), Junior, (II), Cyfarthfa, to David Stewart (agent for Lord Bute), to intimate that he has persuaded his father to sell Hirwain works in the present period of high prices, unless supplies of better coal can be got, more suited to furnaces, and unless the proposed renewal of the lease can be granted; and to advise that Lord Bute would do well to buy the works and re-let them to the Abernant Coal Company, which union would produce the best iron concern in the country.
