Is it possible to post a larger section bristolloggerheads so we can compare letters within the piece.
A bit difficult to get the feel of the script with a little clip.

...brass spurrs...

Track backwards from the top of the first r.  The line descends, then turns sharply upwards.  That vertical line is the RHS of the u.

There's something similar in the last line in what I think is furrd gloves.

You are quite correct about the furrd gloves. It's a list of commodities for export to Sweden from London.
