Ffeil Boxes/ Box I/ Bundle 12/ No. 307. - William Crawshay (I), London, to William Crawshay (II), his son, Merthyr Tidvil,

William Crawshay (I), London, to William Crawshay (II), his son, Merthyr Tidvil,. Concerning another furnace at Hirwain, which is sanctioned, and extension of Cyfarthfa, which will be discussed; the threat of Bailey to reduce iron by £4 per ton if the House of Lords rejects his appeal, in which measure the writer will not follow in view of a panic in the industry; the deputation of Routh and other commissioners at the Board of Trade. Routine matters. [A footnote by Routh: the immovability of Mr. Huskisson who indicates that other measures about to be proposed will show that the iron trade is not unfairly singled out (for removal of protective duties)].
