Mr. Westgarth Coalcleugh        				Dukesf'd 2d June 1768



Dr  Sr

There can be no harm in letting Geo. Wallace carry a few Catches of Kilhope Ore to Rookhope Mill to bring the Wood you have bought in Weardale.

I have not seen or heard anything from Mr. Tweedall since you & I was there so cannot say anything as to the Carriage till I know what they do, but shall acquaint you when there's any change made.

Mr. Richmond tells me there's a great difference between the deliv[er]y & receipt of the Ore last year by the Acco[un]ts he has rec[eive]d of both - Mr. Dickinson & Mr. Kidds Acco[un]ts both agreed w[i]th Mr. Salkelds, where the difference lyes I know not, therefor desire you'll send me a Copy of the quantity of Ore you have made deliv[er]y f[ro]m your Grove (in the y[ea]r 1767) in the Acco[un]ts sent Mr. Richmond as soon as you possibly can for I'm to give him an Acco[un]t by Sundays post how it's happened.        

I am yrs &c I H Jr
