Dufton 10. April 1809
Dear Sir
In examining Colonel Beaumonts Lead Mines at this time I find very little alteration at Coalcleugh since last quarter. The West flatts continues nearly the same and the cross cuts to the South at the east end to prove if any part of the Vein was off, to that side is not <…> finished, but upon the whole that Mine continues to raise a considerable quantity of Ore. Wellhope Veins being nearly worked out to the West and the East end still con

Letter – Martin Morrison to Isaac Wilkinson – 10 May 1809
Isaac Wilkinson Esqre Chesterfield Derbyshire Newcastle 10 May 1809
I am this day favored with your Letter of the 10 inst. It is impossible for me to say what the price of Lead may be this summer, particularly so, as great exertion is used to reduce the price by the House you mention, and which the petty dealers & miners will essentially contribute to by accepting so low a price as £30 per fodder . – In my opinion there exists no reason for so great a reduction, nor do I ex
