Mr Isaac Hunter Dukesfield 				Newcastle 10th Oct 1795

              

Dear Sir	I am sorry to find that the Lead does not come so fast in as was expected; I have no doubt of your exertions on the occasion but as there are at present about 18,000 p[iece]s wanting to compleat the quantity sold I would recommend that the East Hand Carriage (who lead on the same terms as last year) may have an advance from this time of 3d or 6d per Fo[dde]r the latter I think would encourage them;  Pringle likewise must be spurred up to bring down the Rookhope Lead, which has been so long on the Road:  We shall want 2,000 p[iece]s of Ref[ine]d Lead exclusive of the quantity that will be made at Blaydon to the 31st Decr.

                                                       I am Dear Sir Your H[um]ble Serv[an]t

                                                                                               J E Blackett

I give you joy of your Son M R Hunter’s promotion

A two year community project, it was led by the Friends of the North Pennines in partnership with Hexhamshire and Slaley Parish Councils and the active support of Allendale Estates.
