Sir

As I want to have the Lead at Markett & cannot wait of Mr Reynoldsons’s recovery, which I am very sorry to find is yet doubtfull, I must desire you will speak to the Winlaton Tenants to fetch it without delay and that you will keep An Acco[un]t of the Receipt of it – till we see the Event of his Illness. I should be glad to know by the Wherryman on Monday how he does. P.S. The hundred Casks of  Boneashes are come and I suppose you have got some of them. You will let me know the quality of them as soon as you have tryed and let 40 or 50 Casks of them go to Dukesfield – pray let me know as soon as you have twenty Casks of Litharge ready. I am etc    HR
