Messrs Walker Fishwick & Co. Farnacres 4th December 1787.
Gents
We are not a little surprised and indeed hurt on hearing this day from Langley Mill that instead of Casks being sent with the Bungholes in the end we have been sent with Bungholes in the side. It is a matter of more consequence to us to attend to the preservation of the Lives of our Agents at Langley Mill and our Workmen there than any dealing with you Gentlemen can compensate for and therefore unless the Terms of Agreement relative to the Casks can be complied with we dare it may be at an end and you must allow us to think that our wishes have not been attended to in that way which we had a right to expect from your assurances and cannot possibly persuade ourselves that it is otherwise than that your directions having been misunderstood by your own Workmen. We shall be glad to hear from you by the bearer and are
Gents Your most humble Servants
Walton & Turner
PS If any more Casks should be sent with Bungholes in the sides we have given instructions that they shall not be filled
