Messrs. Mulcaster 						Farnacres 24 Dec 1787



       We have rec[eive]d your Letters of the 19th and 23rd Inst. And I have written to Mr Fishwick acquainting him that we cannot with convenience furnish him with more than the 60 Fodders of Litharge agreed for: under the circumstances of refined Lead being £21 per Fodder, we apprehend the Lead from Lough Vein we cannot profitably refine. You are desired to do as well as you profitably can as to getting the 60 Fod[ders] to Newcastle, and hope you will not have a Difficulty in effecting that.

       You Humble Servants Walton & Turner
