Dear Sir, I received your letter a week ago, but I didn't have time to write to you straight after, for I have only now finished with the expensive salt. Thanks to God, it's almost all sold. I am afraid we are finished until next year with the pilchards. There isn't a price still going for them. The winter pilchards will harm the summer pilchards, for there are around two thousand barrels still in Falmouth, sold and to be sold, and they are writing there against us.
