Messrs Henry & Jona Airey						Farnacres 31 Decemr 1781 



Gentlemen 

       Above you have an Acct of Lead Sold by you for which we desire to settle on Saturday Morning when Mr Walton will call at Mr Henry Aireys Office at half past Ten or Eleven o'Clock.  We heartily wish you many happy years and are

       Gentlemen.  Your most Humble Servants

       Walton & Turner



PS.   We have no particulars of the delivery of the 600 & cannot help think it to be extremely wrong that the delivery shd be so long delayed a thing we cannot by any means admit of for the time to come for it certainly seems strange that we shd now be delivering Lead at £15.7.6 when the real price is £17 and that the Lead which has been sold at £16.10 may perhaps remain in the Warehouse for Six Months and further time be expected for payment tho' we are put to the inconvenience of keeping it for the purchaser.  In Mr Harveys Acct Dr Halls last Quantity is £222:5:2 1/2  Qr whether 14.9.-.7 [ie.Fodders/Cwt/Quarters/Lb] is the right quantity

The Dukesfield Smelters and Carriers Project aimed to celebrate and discover the heritage of the Dukesfield Arches & lead carriers' routes between Blaydon and the lead mines of Allendale and Weardale. 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. It was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and the generous support of other sponsors. Friends of the North Pennines: Charity No:1137467
