Title

Coal Has Been the Cause of Much Vexation & Trouble

Description

Williams is concerned about the coal that has been contracted for. The Superintendent refuses to certify the account of the contractors believing there is a mistake in the measurement. The captain of the vessel that brought the coal and the contractors will testify that it was rightly measured. The coal has caused Williams much vexation and trouble due purely to the caprice and ill-natured motives of the Superintendent.
