| Description | Having been obliged to draw 2 quarters' salaries (Midsummer - Christmas 1809) for himself and Mrs. Wenzel, he now finds it necessary to draw the whole years' from Christmas 1809 to Christmas 1810. Renner and Butscher took goods from those Wenzel and Barneth brought to the value of £187 15s, which should be debited to their account. The tobacco, costing £58 10s 9d, which Capt. Macaulay sent, was only fit to be thrown away. Other stores were either deficient or worthless substitutes. Transport, presents to headmen, repairs and Barneth's funeral have cost much. Wenzel asks how much remains undrawn of the bill upon Capt. Macaulay of £396 13s 6d. Macaulay told him that he could draw upon his cargo up to £400. Wenzel regrets his inability to repay any sum in 1810. |
