Mold, a Millman employed at this place, has been several times found to have drunk rather more than he should have done, for which we have admonished him and told him that he would certainly be discharged if he continued to be so indiscreet. Notwithstanding the repeated caution given to him he came to take his turn of duty to work two Mills (From 6 to 12 o'clock at night) so much in liquor that we were oblidged to send him home [and] we have suspended him until we receive your commands whether he is to be discharged from the Service."
