Letter to Madam TURNER at the House in Old Worke in the City
of York, from Edmd. EVANS at Bonsall. He has received Mrs. LANGTON's
letter and has sent the bill (or bell) accordingly herewith
to Chesterfield to go to York by carrier, the boxes of writings
at Snitterton are removed upstairs ; the repairs to Billy ?
KILLHAM's or ? KIRKHAM's house are not quite finished (some
detail concerning the slate some of which came from an old house);
We were 3 cartloads of slate short which Isaac EVANS fetched
from the slate pits to Snitterton in his cart and thence to
Bonsall by horseback; have been very lousy in making a coach
or wagon road from Bonsall to "Crumford" from which
place there is already one made to Matlock Bath (done at Mr.
PENNELL's expense who built the Bath) and another from Cromford
to Swanwick made mostly at Mr. TURNER's expense for the encouragement
of his coral trade so when ours is completed it will make a
through passage from Matlock Bath to Buxton and likewise from
'our' neighbourhood to the coalpits, Nottingham or Derby ; this
rough piece of work is not done by any levy but chiefly by the
miners unpaid, the gunpowder they blow away and the ale allowed
them is paid out of a collection made amongst ourselves, particularly
mentioning Mrs. HALLAM who keeps the Bath and Mr. MOORE of Winster,
and suggests your ladyship gives a guinea to them. Postscript
that Mr. BRADLEY of Mathfield [Mayfield, co. Stafford]
is to make a resignation of the living and Edmd. will wait on
your ladyship with a presentation.
