To Mr Horne Ravensworth Castle October 9th 1750
Sir
In looking through the Lead Mines in Alston moor I find a Discovery is made lately in a Rivulet called Crossgill Burn of a Vein which has in it malleable Lead; it lyes in such a situation that a Tryal of it may be made at a small expence, and as it is so uncommon a thing I would recommend it to the Board to make the Tryal at their expence. I think it will not cost above £15 or £20.
