Mr. R. Morrow Blaydon



Sir

	I have not as yet been able to make out any of the Lead wanting in the Hands of any of the Westhand Carriers, tho I cannot say that they are clear of negligence this year, tho the instance you give should not (I think) charge them wth. the whole blame however shall write you an answr. once I make any discovery.   The Wards I believe delivd the Ore they took up at Allanhds. Mill at Whitensday, & I find by that Mills Accots. that they had 180  ps. & by your Accot. Green has brought but 168 so that inables us to charge them & Green wth. the 12 ps. wanting – below you have an Accot. of the Quantity that each Man you mention has taken f’m the Mill & allso the Quantity of Dukesfield Ld. delivd in 1774 & 1775 & whats delivd fm Rookhope to the 4th. Inst. & am

	Yrs. &c IH Jr.
