Letter – John Donkin to William Routledge – 12 Dec 1786
Sandoe Dec. 12th. 1786.
Dear Sir,
Mr. Wood in his Letter to you of the 7th Inst. appears to suppose there is some Error in the Acc[oun]ts of Ore got at Bruntshieldhaugh Mine for the Years 1783, 84, 85 and 1786; not having specifyed therein what he supposes may have been got between the End of 1784 & June 1785. You will, I doubt not, easily reconcile him to believe that the Omission arises from our Misfortune and not our Fault, as no Ore was got in that Period. And indeed had

Decr. 24. 1786
Dear Sir,
Enclosed is a letter I got from Mr. Jenkins which he calls an instrument for obtaining an administration to my Mother’s Will. I have read it and can make nothing in the World of it, he first says she was a widow and lived at <Keddington>, then he mentions I am her natural & lawful Son, & in short makes use of terms I know not, which makes me at a loss how to act. I would have waited on you myself, but the badness of the day prevents me, howeve
