Title
Reports Lack of Clothing in Store; Recommends Mr. Billington to Inspect Clothing at Busk Hill
Description
Reports that it is most likely that not much clothing remains in store nor is expected soon. Suitable stores cannot be procured at New Castle. Reports danger of contagious ague and fever in the city. Perhaps clothing could be inspected at Mr. Billington's house, who is capable and has the space for such an activity. He will be amply compensated.
