The men to whom Galpin had sold would not pay when they heard that he was dead.

Mr.Turner was gone from home ten months, but instead of his returning with money for us, we were obliged to pay money that he had borrowed to get home with, besides his expenses for the ten months that he was gone.

This was harder for me than any of the others, and was indeed a bitter pill.

As it was my first heavy loss I could not help feeling very bad.
In the winter and spring of 1822, I built a small shop in Bristol, for making the cases only, as all of the others made the movements.

The first circular saw ever used there was put up by myself in 1822, and this was the commencement of making cases by machinery in that town, which has since been so renowned for its clock productions.
