To Mr. Mulcaster Farnacres 23rd February 1776
Mr. Mulcaster
I am concerned to find Thomas Elliot is so poorly and doubt his years do not present a probable prospect of Recovery but I notwithstanding hope he may get the better of his complaint. It seems necessary to have some person to make up the deficiency if Thomas <shd> continues so as not to be able to go thro’ the Duty; pray what do you advise on this Occasion?
The Walling I should have no objection to its being repaired at the Hospitals Expence if it should not be drawn into a precedent, and if it is clearly understood that nothing of the kind is to be expected in future you may get it done when you find a proper opportunity
You did properly in employing Fall in Leading the Stones for the Conduits.
It will undoubtedly be right to change the sides of the reducing Furnace and I desire it may be done.
I approve of what you have done as to the Shotleyfield Clay.
Cowhill Cowslitts &c. and Carrs Slagg Lead is not refineable so you will of Course report it for Sale
I am &c NW Junr.
