Mr. Thomas Emerson Junr.				Newcastle 18 Octr. 1800

Newhouse Weardale



I am sorry to find that the Ore continues to be sent from the Weardale Mines to Rookhope Mill in a very bad state, one fifth part at least of spar &c. to the Great injury of the concern, & so totally different to the good management &c. of the Agents of the Hospital & the Lead Company; I was in hopes that the former Complaints made to you on that head, would have been paid due regard to, but that not being the case, I shall be under the necessity of appointing Mr. Thomas Crawhall to inspect the Weardale Ore before it be sent to the Lead Mill.

I am &c. J:E:B:
