Mr Mulcaster. Farnacres 5th May 1775
We think if you can make it convenient, when you are short of Water, it will be best to lay off the Slag Hearth; as those Bellows, we judge, take as much power as any two of the others, and not only that, but oblige the rest to Work to a disadvantage, by their not making full Strokes; the rule is, you see, when the Slag Hearth is on to take up, til it will do its business at 18 Kams P Min an

Sir.
We have this day reced yours of the 3rd inst and you are very right in the dimensions, only you mention one circumstance which we think you have apprehended wrong, you say ‘Pipe to drop a little on the lower side’, now the Pipe is to drop a little on the upper side in order to throw the blast downwards, the bore is to be round, or nearly so, being for Smelting Bellows.
Since the Year 1766 we have got

In my last I forgot to mention that a disappointment had been met with us as to the Charcoal which was intended to have been delivered to you at Langley Mill for the purpose of the Trials to Reduce with it and I therefore now write to desire John Turnbull may be sent into the Hag Bank to examine whether we cannot get as much Wood of the proper kind for Charcoal from the Tops of what we have felled suc

Mr Mulcaster. Farnacres 19th May 1775
I have reced. your Letter of the 18th and with regard to the Charcoal, can give no directions what is to be done either with regard to Cording or preparing the Wood for Coaling. I suppose the Workman who we get to burn it for us will be the best judge of that. I would not have more than one Pit burnt, til we see how the experiments answer, nor would I wish to have any fresh Wood cut on any Account. Such part of

I am sorry your Ore Carriers from Coalcleugh & Allanheads are so difficult to deal with this Year - It will be wrong to lose much time in treating with them as there is so much Ore lying at the several Mines I see no other Way but for you to make as good a Bargain as you can with them either by promising them a Pay in Oc
