-1445­ 5238 1837 19 Aug. LETTER: Arthur Ashley of St. Asaph Mill so Mr. T. A. Corlett, Esq., of the North and South Wales Bank, Liverpool. He has received a demand requiring a reduction of the money he owes the bank or security for the same. Because of the sudden ruinous decline in the value of flour and pressure on the money market he is unable to meet their demands. He gives a Hst of his creditors and the sums owing totalling over £1400. Gives details of his lease of the miU. He has also spent money on improving the machinery in the mill.

He is trying to get grinding work on hire but this is insufficient to keep the mill going. Hence has has had to buy on disadvantageous terms and seU quickly because of the limited capital he has

-1447­ 5242 cont/. available. It is customary for millers who grind for hire in that part of the country to buy the wheat for the party and to pay for it themselves, not receiving payment for it until two or three weeks later. He regrets the bank's refusal to grant him credit so that he was obliged to buy in a few weeks' stock of wheat while the farms were involved in spring field work and the markets were scantily supplied and needy buyers had to pay high prices. If he had had the means he would have bought corn when it was cheap and sold it at high prices. Instead he had to pay gradually increasing prices with a consequent lowering of his level of profit. He asks the bank to allow him a few weeks credit of £300 ­ £400 in order to enable him to run the business efficiently.

-1536­ 5651 1815 5 Feb. DRAFT LETTER to the Earl of Uxbridge re the question of a com­ mercial school at Caernarvon. Some years ago there was a school in Caernarvon kept by Thomas Brown, who did a great deal of good in the town. For the 20 years he (Poole) lived in Caernarvon it was a constant regret that since Brown's death there had never bean a reputable school there. The idea of setting up a school arose recently at a private party and a meeting was held the next day at Mr. Poole's house when it was agreed to advertise in the press that a public meeting would be held. Gives a report of the meeting and the question of the religious faith of the master - the suggestion that he should be Church of England was opposed by the dissenters. As the project seemed in danger of floundering, a committee was formed to consider the matter and the resolutions were hastily drawn up as a stopgap measure.
