Dr Sir
I rec'd yours of 16th March in which you
expressed a desire of having me in your
pottery if we could agree on the price of
my labour. If you will prepare the clay
I will turn any article for the price of
one, that is turn a dozen for the price of one
at retail of any kind, and you find me.
And for glazing & Burning ti will do in
the same proprotion that my wages would
come at - at turning. if you comply
with these terms I will go in to your employ
by the 15th of May next. But I wish you
to wirte to me immediately whether you wish
me to come or not.
Your most abt Sevt
