Mr Richmond N.Castle



Sir

       You would see by th Pay Bills that I recd: 4£..8s .3d for Fewal of Allanhds. Mill for the Ton Tail Lead of Coalcleugh & Allanhds. Mines; the fewal  for the Weardale Mines I find by Mr. Maughan was always accounted for in his General Accot. the Fewel for Coalcleugh & Allhds Mines was always recd. at the Mines Pays by the Clerk at Allds. Mill and deducted f’m his Salary as you may see by examining that Mills Decr. Quartr. Accots. for 1773 & 1774.  I have had the Stock of Lead at this Mill examined again wth. the Smelting & Delivery wch. agrees wth. what Mr. Salkeld makes it.   have not heard of any of the Lead wanting as yet; its surely too great a quantity to be stolen & its very od one cannot find some of it on the Roads; if its not found soon after the Snow’s of[f] the ground I think it would be proper to have it advertised & am yrs. &c I:H: Jr:
