A:
Letter from a merchant in White-
haven, to an Iron Master in the South
of England.
Sir
Notwithstanding the Kings Attoney and Solli-
citor General, have upon the fullest considera-
tion of M:r Wood petition for a charter for
a million of money, laid their report before
his Majesty, humbly offering their opinion
against granting him any charter: This
Town is almost every post entertain'd with
Letters from M:r Wood, or his agents, of his
being assured of having a charter Immediately
for making Iron with Pitt-Coal. We shall
be very glad to See the money here that is due
from the Iron Projectors; but we have had
enough of his Iron, unless we saw some
kopis of his making that which is fit for use,
and therefore we schould have been as well
plaes'd to have heard he had some new Scheme
for extracting Silver or Gold in some new
methode that has never yet been tried.
Sometime Since we had a prodigious Noise
about his making Iron at Fritzington, naer
this Place, but when there was the graetest
Noise about it, the Iron it self was invisable,
so little of it could be procur'd for Love or Money:
