We have recd. your Letters of the 21st. 23rd. & 25th. Inst, and approve of what you have done concerning the Stamp Mill, but are sorry you have had so much Trouble about it. We have now very bad Weather and suppose all to be frozen up with you or at least as much as to prevent the Stamp Mill going.

I hope you received safe by the Fridays Carrier a Plate of Silver as p[er] inclosed Acco[un]t; from the calculations that I can now make do suppose that it will take 8 thousand pounds to make the Smelt Mills & Dukesfield Refinery’s Pay for 1785 and I expect to finish the Reckonings etc so as to be able to send you the Acco[un]ts Pay-Bill & Rental against the 20th inst – We have this day smelted all the Ore

Messrs. Mulcaster Farnacres 10th. March 1786
We have recd. your Letter of the 6th. Instant with the Assay of Silver from the Haydon Bridge Lead and hope the Quantity of Ore and Quality of it will make up for the Deficiency of Silver. It certainly appears that there is a Vein, but tho’ we hope, we fear the Prospect is not good. We shall be glad to hear from you from time to time concerning this Business.

Messrs. Mulcaster Farnacres 12 March 1786
Having further considered the Matter as to the price of the Carriage of Lead, we think it will be by far the best way at once to declare to all Carriers that it shall be the same from the Mill to Newcastle as it has been for some pays past - which is 12d. per piece. We are

Letter – Nicholas Walton to Peter Mulcaster – 14 Mar 1786
Messrs. Mulcaster Farnacres 14th. March 1786
We have already wrote to you concerning the Carriage of the Lead, but take this Opportunity of repeating that the price of Carriage for the whole of the Lead marked 85 is to be 12d. per piece from the Mill to Newcastle, and consequently 11d. per piece to Dukes Hall.
The Behaviour of the Elliots concerning the Lead Mine at Haydon Bridge had been particularly ridiculous, and looks as if it had been intended with a View to prove t

We have recd. your Letters of the 17th. & 18th. Inst, and tho’ we sent you in another Letter that 10 ½ d & 12 d will be the right prices for carriage of Lead, in fully considering this matter we think it will be the best Way to keep the Prices as they are now fixed viz -
10 d to Dukes Hall

It certainly will be right (and indeed wd. be very wrong otherwise) to pay the Lead Carriers 12 d per piece ’til the time they had Notice of our beginning to carry to Dukes Hall, and all the rest of the Lead to be pd. for at the rate of 11 ½.
We are perfectly satisfied that there must have been a Mistake concerning the Assay for the last Operation, and think it
