Mr. R.Mulcaster Blaydon               				Dukesf'd 9th June 1768



Sir

I rec'd yours of the 6th inst this morn[in]g & shall let you have a pair of our refining Bellows, tho' we cannot at this time conveniently want them, but as the tryal you want of your Water can be soon made w[i]th them you'll please to return them as soon as you possibly can,if your water prove insuficient to work them, w[hi]ch I imagine will be the case f[ro]m Acco[un]ts of it - there's some Men in your Neighbourhood that goes to Allenh[ea]ds Mill for Lead this Sum[m]er, now, if you could get one of them to come for the Bellows would be better then sending them by the Carriers here, as the will be less liable to harm, then w[it]h twice the load - the charge of a pair of Refin[in]g Bellows made by Bowman will (I suppose) be between 15 & 20£   

I am     Sr Yrs &c  I H Jr
