Dear Chris
I went to Bulls, but I did not go to any other place. He made good offers
for the bangles and the coral necklaces, but not for the silver necklet.
He said he would buy the dozen bangles that I had for two shillings each which makes twenty-four shillings, and two of the coral things at seven shillings and six pence each, which makes fifteen shillings.
But for the silver necklace he said he could not give more than twelve shillings. He said that if it was sold privately it was worth 25 shillings. But what I can’t understand is this – he said he would give about eight or nine shillings an ounce for the necklace, and when I weighed it at home it was just
between three ounces and two and three-quarter ounces in weight.
I hope you arrived alright
I remain, your affectionate Brother
