24 Dec 1754

Hon'd Sir

	I have herewith inclosed six bills for £1203.10.2, w[hi]ch I desire you will be pleased to advise the receipt of.

	Mr Mayor send you his Complim[ent]s & says your giving yourself the trouble of coming down at the Guild, w[hi]ch will be 20 January, is quite unnecessary, he does not imagine there will be any manner of disturbance, but if any of those troublesome fellows sho[ul]d offer to interrupt business, he is determined to exert his Authority. There was no extraordinary business at the Comon council, w[hi]ch was held on thursday last. Mr Ridley intends to be in London about the 8th January.

	Dukesfield pay was made on thursday last & it amounted to 2844.14.23/4  We have nothing new f[ro]m the L[ea]d mines, nor any Alteration in the Lead trade. You have had 17 p[iece]s of Lead stolen between the Mils & Bladon this y[ea]r. I desire to know if you approve of an Advertisem[en]t  being put into our papers offring a reward to any p[er]son that shall inform ag[ain]st the P[er]son or P[er]sons th[a]t has stolen the same or any p[ar[t thereof to be p[ai]d upon conviction. I think the reward sho[ul]d not be less than ten Guineas.

	Yesterday I distributed your annual Charity to above 800 persons w[hi]ch comes to upwards of £90. I wish you many happy years & am Hon'd Sir y[ou]r mo[st] faithf[u]l & h[um]ble Serv[ant]  JR

The Dukesfield Smelters and Carriers Project aimed to celebrate and discover the heritage of the Dukesfield Arches & lead carriers' routes between Blaydon and the lead mines of Allendale and Weardale. 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.
