just lit when help came.
We have been having a
<lb/>lot of trouble with the works
<lb/>Admiralty suddenly &amp; stopped
<lb/>all sailing to Bristol Channel
<lb/>&amp; our cargo of Lead nearly £300
<lb/>worth is lying at N. Wall & an
<lb/><del>a</del> Cargo of Zinc just off to join
<lb/>it. Then Anthracite ran short.
<lb/>This ended 3 week ago so the
<lb/> works had to be stopped, for 2&#x2014;3
<lb/><sic>Jny</sic>, we have got a supply now
<lb/>at £2.10.0 a ton this I had bought 
<lb/>at £1.14.0 " " we were thankful
<lb/>to get some at any price. Elsewhere
<lb/>the price <unclear>further</unclear> was £3.0.0.
It was very disquiting C being
<lb/>called up to <unclear>Duncer</unclear>. I fear he will
<lb/>have no chance of Leave now tho
<lb/>in Dublin they <sic>wd</sic> certainly have given 
<lb/>him several weeks home, &amp; he would
<lb/>have been much the better for it. He 
<lb/>is by no means over this shock to some
<lb/>of the Apprentices, &amp;<unclear> Duncer</unclear> is
<lb/>not exactly a health resort.
You give an attractive <sic>acct</sic>
<lb/>of K.C. Hostel, &amp; I do hope you will
<lb/>be able to arrange to be there, <sic>altho</sic>
<lb/>further from <sic>yr</sic> work, you will be
<lb/>much nearer to friends <unclear>Ita</unclear> Woods &amp;
<lb/><unclear>Crompton</unclear> &amp; altogether <del>a</del>surely
<lb/>much less dreary &amp; lonely.
I wonder will Em or yourself
<lb/>come into social contact with
<lb/>Mabel. She is not so extremely
<lb/>out of the way as Floss.
Letters are called for so
<lb/>Good bye dear little Daughter
<salute><sic>Yr</sic> loving father</salute>
<digned><hi rend="underline"><sic>Albt</sic> A Wynne</hi></signed>
<note>Much Love to Em.</note>
