41. Robert Bloomfield to George
Bloomfield, 29 October 1800*
London 29th Oct 1800
Dear George
I dined at Mr Hoods on
Sunday and find my affairs stand nearly as follows
| | £ |
| Total cost of 3 first editions | 481 odd shillings |
| When all sold will produce joint
profit | 613 odd shillings |
| Out of Hood's half of the profits | |
| he proposes to give me for these | |
| three Editions, | 50, 0 |
| and another | 50, 0 |
for the next three, this hundred pounds is more than I had expected. I am to draw
on him for my wants at Bury. You
may inform Mr Smy that I should be glad to
live at Bury, and if the situation
and conditions could be still further explaind to me I should know how to
proceed as to bringing my furniture, what part of it may be required and what
not, are there stoves or ranges fix'd? & c &c.
I have I believe more in family than Mr Smy. What room should I have to stow
them in?
Your Brother Robert
