December 29, 1841 - New Brunswick, Middlesex, New Jersey, USA

Mr. Thomas Walker Dear Sir, I am requested to write to you by Mr. Holbrook of Newark and make the following inquiry: Whether you mixed in your clay hard coal for the purpose of burning brick previous to 1828. Abraham Plep tells me that the brick kiln you ran together by using to match coal you sold to Thompson and they were used for erecting the Dutch Church steeple built in the summer of 1828. I am strongly of the opinion you made use of coal by mixing in your clay in 1826 or 1827. You purchased coal in New York and charged it up by the Washington Shops. I think you bought some coal of H. Bostwick. Martin Howden has entered his books that coal dust was sold to you in the spring of 1830, and thinks he sold you long before that. I wish you to inform me as soon as you become satisfied in your own mind as to the year you mixed hard coal in your clay. It is of now importance to me of great importance to them to ascertain that fact as early as possible. There men will feel under great obligations to you by a recovery of those facts as early as possible. Respectfully yours, Matthew Legerton
