A Copy of a Letter sent Mr. Ramshay 			13 July 1773



Dear Sir,

Some Time ago my Son told me he had seen you at New Castle & that you your Son & he Thought it would be right to let Stanhope Smelt Mill for One Year. I give you my oppinion to the Contrary by Letter however Since that Time I have had reason to alter as our Works at Greengill West End will be longer in being Tryed than I then expected. I have therefore taken the Liberty to grant leave to Mr Wm. Monkhouse & Compy to Smelt a Quantity of Ore at Stanhope Mill after the Smelting Refining &c Lord Carlisles Ore be finished which I hope will be now in about 3 Weeks they Paying Millage &c I shall take care that no more be carried than can be Smelted without Interfering with Lord Carlisles Ore.

      I am &c Jona Hilton
