Sir,
I have made three Assays of the Newbiggin Ore, One f[ro]m the Round, another f[ro]m Round & Small mix[e]d the other f[ro]m the Small and find, taking the medium of these three Assays would require 5 Bings nearly to make a Fod[der] or 21 Cwt of Lead. I do suppose that the Ore I got was the best then at the Bank, so that one cannot expect to get a quantity to yield equal to it, but I think we might venture to calculate it’
