Mr. Forster Allanhds.



Dr. Sr.

       I don’t doubt but it will surprize you when I tell you that the Ore we recd. the other day fm your place is as bad as any we have recd. for this Twelve Months past; and particularly the Shattered Ore, wch. is Brangled wth. Black Stone & Spar & several of the pieces are not one third part of them Ore & when cover’d wth. Smidum or Small Ore has the appearance of good Ore.   I own I should not have discovered it so soon if it had not been this days Rain & what I took notice of was what Jno Rowland had brought in.   I wish you would come & take a Day or two among the Partridges & then you would see I did not complain wth.out a Cause – pray do insist on Mr. Allgood not to delivr. any till well & properly dressed – can you supply us here wth. 100 Bings p[er] Week for two Months time.  & am yrs 

       &c IH Jr:
