I am sorry y raise diff^ties on 2 p^ts connect^d w^th the loop railw.

W^d it set y^e matter straight if I were to make y. the foll^g propⁿ.

Y. will prob^y roast a good deal of ore before send^g it away. If y do not adopt that plan at first y will prob^y be led to do so after a short time –

If you wish some of y^r trucks that convey ore to the rlwy _GWR Sh^d bring back coals on their return journey, I w^d propose that in considⁿ of y^e expenses in Conveying 1½ mile by canal & of the toll of 1/ on the ore, the return journeys of cars laden with coal sh^d be toll free.

I am sorry you raise difficulties on two points connected with the loop railway.

Would it set the matter straight if I were to make the following proposition.

You will probably roast a good deal of ore before sending it away. If you do not adopt that plan at first you will probably be led to do so after a short time –

If you wish some of your trucks that convey ore to the railway Great Western Railway should bring back coals on their return journey, I would propose that in consideration of the expenses in Conveying 1½ miles by canal and of the toll of 1/ on the ore, the return journeys of cars laden with coal should be toll free.
