Messrs Finlay & Hodgson

      I duly received your letters of the 10th& 11th Inst. I now have your own bankers A/c up to the close of the year. I have requested them to send you a Monthly A/c in future. [?]rw are already in possession of my cash A/cs up to the end of Jany. I also send a prospective acct of Receipts & Payments up to the end of Octr next & a prospective Lead A/c to the end of May by which time the 10,000 Bings smelted by the Hudgill Co will be completed. I have not taken into a/c any payments from Mr Key on A/c of the Limehouse works or on his own A/c which you can best obtain from him. The general annual A/c shall be made out & sent as soon as finished. The Exorships A/c for the Limehouse Works you will receive next week.

	The drawing at Allenheads is all let & a portion of the Weardale. I hope in a very short time the whole of the drawing will be let. I will request the Messrs Crawhall to send you a statement of the expected saving by this arrangement over the old system, which will be considerable.

	I understand WalkersParker & Co purchased a large qty of the Lead a short time back price or qty at present not known. Believed to be £13 & £12/10. You will observe the dates of payments marked with red ink in the prospective A/cs of Messrs Maltbys agreeable to their contract.

	I am sir    BJ

A two year community project, it was led by the Friends of the North Pennines in partnership with Hexhamshire and Slaley Parish Councils and the active support of Allendale Estates. It was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and the generous support of other sponsors. Friends of the North Pennines: Charity No:1137467
