      We are exceedingly concerned when you acquaint us that 2 Pigs of Lead have been stolen from Langley Lead Mill, which you will observe we have advertised in the Papers of this day.   We approve of a yard and therefore during the course of the Winter desire you will be winning Stones for it.

      Your &c.  W[alton] & T[urner]

The current price for large Quantities being £17.15- .   I find I have omitted ordering you some Iron & Steel but it will come by Johnson on Monday.
