Messrs Mulcaster



We have this evening had your Letter of the 22nd Inst with the Five Weeks Coal accounts and one Cinder account. We wrote you on Saturday Evening with Directions for further trial as to the Pig in Abrham Fawcett’s possession which doubt not you w[oul]d receive yesterday after you wrote to us your Letter having been directed to the care of Mr Wm Coats. We duly rec[eive]d your letter as also Mr Ruddocks. As soon as possible we will allow you to begin the carriage again but cannot yet so you must do as well as you can. You shall have a <Title> for the Lead Book sent you when we give you directions to begin the carriage again but doubt it must be some longer than that you have sent. We shall expect to hear from you by Friday’s carrier & are

       Your Humble Ser[van]ts

       Walton & Turner



PS. Pray write to Mr Little and desire he will be so good as let you know what his charges may be that you may have our directions to pay him. Send our compliments to Mr Mitchinson.
