To Mr Rudd                                    Newcastle May 13th 1731

Sr.,

I observe by your last accot that on the 1st inst you had only got 1297 pieces of Lead sent from the miln, & that there was then remaining above 2800 pieces, I desire upon Receipt hereof you’l let me know whether the carriage goes briskly on, & when you expect to get the miles cleared, This is the carriers Leisure time, & the time of the market calls for the Lead, & I therefore hope wee shall not be trifled with as wee were last year   I am   etc   JR
