To Mr Peter Mulcaster Farnacres 25th Septem 1779
Mr Mulcaster
I fully intended writing to you yesterday but finding a considerable Over running in the Account of delivery at Newcastle when compared with the Account I got from you I was determined to go to Newcastle and examine whether the Quantities were right sent me from the Tickett Book which having now done I send you An Account of the whole inclosed and think it will be proper for the several Carriers to give you an Account how they disposed of the Lead amounting to 1376 pieces and by making that Enquiry you will found in whose Hands the Over running Lead has been. Thomas Ions shd also give an Acct from whom he has reced Lead which was not included in last Pay Account; This however must not stop your beginning to deliver from the Mill as all is now in that has been delivd at least I suppose all we are to expect. You are also desired carefully to examine the Lead Mill Account. I mean your Quantity now in hand and compare that with your delivery as in case we are short at the Mill I think it is only fair that we shd take care of ourselves first and the Carriers afterwards.
