J.E.Blackett Esqr. N.Castle
Sir
Inclosed you’ll have the last Month Accots. for the Several Mills – this day will Smelt all the Allanhds Ore that’s at this Mill, so that I am afraid we shall fal short of the Quantity of Common Lead that I computed in a former Letter would be sent this year f’m here; as that Ore is the only Ore that comes to this Mill wch. we make the Common or WB Ld. off. The Quantity of Refined Lead delivd. to this day is 6014 ps. & shall send it as we refine it, for I find by Mr. Bell that you are in want of that sort of Ld., but I doubt I have gon too far in the calculation of the Ld. to be sent this year – have wrote to Mr. Morrow acquainting him wth. the quantity delivd. that if any is in the Hands of the Easthand Carriers for him to hasten them in wth. it. I expect to send you a Plate of Silver against the 20th. inst & am
&c. &c. IH Jr.
