I wish it may be convenient for you to let me have when I come down 250£ instead of the 200 that we talked of when here; for I have had so many applications for Carriers &c in distress that I doubt I shall not be able to divide the latter sum so as to relive them shall be at the Office on Wednesday Morn[in]g the 1st Nov'r or any other day that's more agreeable between this and the 8th (for thats Hexham Fair where th

Mr Mulcaster. Farnacres 3d Novr 1780
Yours of the 27th & 28th Ulto were duly reced and we are obliged by your care as to the Lead Carriage but as the present demand is satisfyed they need not now hurry, however it will we believe not be right to take pains to stop them.
As every thing respecting the Smelters was fixed when we were at the Mill we cannot go from that and therefore it will undoubtedly be proper not to take Joseph Bell on as a Smelter of Ore

Joseph Bell is now here and desires to be employed in anything we can l

As we shall make a Pay when you are ready with the Lead Ore Carriers Accounts I desire youll let me have the Ore Carriers Bill as soon as convenient. I don't wish to hurry you as it may possibly be some little time before it is convenient to make the Pay and I rather think that likely.
