Mr. Richmond Newcastle         				Dukesf'd 9th June 1768



NB The Lett[e]r of the 5 June Overloked, & copyed upon <over turning> 4 pages back



Sir       

I have compared the delivery f[ro]m the Mines w[i]th the receipts of the Several Mills for last year (w[hi]ch is as below) and find that the mistake lyes in the Weighed off Ore, for in Mr.Westgarth's June 8th Acco[un]t sent you there is 103 3/4 B[ing]s of weigh[e]d off ore at C.C. [Coalcleugh] & 27 Bs at Mohope 49 1/2 of that at Coalcleugh was sent to D[ukes]f[iel]d Mill in Dec'r Q'r w[hi]ch Mr.W. omitted charging in the Acco[un]t sent you as the Mines had once been charged w[it]h it - the 8 1/4 B of Kilhope I suppose must be in the same manner, tho I could not when at C.C. get the exact Acco[un]t Mr. Kidd being very ill & Mr.W. could not get his acco[un]ts.         

I am yrs &c I H Jr
The NB may simply have been a note to himself regarding his copy letters
