Fragmentary shipping notes describe an offer and route involving Bristane and Treola with vague terms.

The legible elements suggest a trade or voyage timeline but lack concrete dates or participants.

The page fragment mentions firms like Southern and Cat Bowen, with references to tests and valuations across multiple metal types. The text is partial and stylistically typical of a late period commodity ledger.
Incomplete record of 18th century ore trade values
Fragmentary OCR shows weights and prices for streams of ore including lead and silver with figures like 2glb 770 and 246, plus entries for Bismark welfram 17 tome and various metal crests. Values are partially legible, indicating costs per ton or weight unit and total sums.
