Messrs. Mulcaster
I am exceedingly vexed indeed on acct. of the falling of the outer Leaf of the Refinery Wall, and desire immediate Steps may be taken for getting the <Damage> repaired; but in case the Wall which supports the Outer End of the Axis will stand ‘til the Season gets better, I shd. be very glad of that, and then there will be time to get every thing ready before beginning to make the Repair, and I wish too that the whole of the Ref

Messrs. Mulcaster
I dare say it is not necessary for me to desire you not to have the Stamp Mill at Work ‘till the Wall of the Refinery is rebuilt and even after that, the Stamp work must stand ‘till all is got well set and steady. I shall order two Bushels of Tarras to set the Hewn work in & possibly you may receive it by tomorrow’s Carrier. When it is used the following directions must be observed
Take two parts Tarras Two Parts fine fresh Powder of Lime One Part

Messrs. Mulcaster
When you were both here we acquainted you that we were apprehensive there might be some small Errors in the Tables for ascertaining the Refineable Lead when compared with the Rise of Lead and Silver at Market. Having now carefully examined the whole we find the Calculation for the Ore Lead so nearly right that it is not worthwhile to alter the Tables, but with regard to the Slag Lead we found it necessary to make a new Set of Tables a

Dear Sir,
Mr. Walton desired Mr. Jona Airey yesterday to bespeak a Coil of Rope for Greenwich Hospital for Stublick Colliery, and desired it might be consigned to Messrs.

Above you have a Drawing for the Bottom of a Hearth for smelting Lead Ore which we doubt not you will perfectly understand. The Breadth between the two side Ledges you will observe is 22 Inches, and from the Back Ledge to the Front 24 Inches and the Breadth and Depths of the Ledges to be 4 Inches, all which we wish to have particularly attended to, but if the Breadth between the two Ledges of 22 Inches is made 22 1/2 or 22 ¼ it will we thin
