COPY LETTER: W.E. Morris, HarbourOffice, Porthmadog to F. Roche, esq, stating that he has paid £400 to his credit at the National Provincial Bank on account of Harbour Dues for the quarter ending 31 Dec. 1880. Less timber has been imported; shipment of slate remains stable and more by rail. Nett produce will he about £1 less. Good prospect for the foreign slate trade.
