We are perfectly satisfied that Greenwich Hospital is not obliged to furnish the Blagill Co with Coals from the Yard Coal Seam, but notwithstanding that, we desire that they may have Coals along with us as long as such kind of Coals can be got, but only for the purpose of reducing.

We have rec[eive]d your letter of the 15th. Six assays including the two for Rampgill which were omitted being sent before.

Dear Jonathan
On a clear supposition that Mr Fishwick sh[oul]d send Casks for the Litharge by the Carriers of Friday and Monday last or the one of those days, I desired that our work might go on in such manner as that we might immediately fill the whole with as little loss of time as possible, in consequence of which the litharge is now lying ready, & we cannot tell what to do, whether to reduce it into lead or to let it lye for M

We have rec[eive]d your Letters of yesterday with Mattw. Temperley’s 2 last Weeks Coal Accounts.
We have not yet had time to make any computation concerning the Trial you have made as to the Litharge, and we think it will perhaps be the best way to defer making and calculations ‘til we get the result of your next weeks Experiments, and if you have kept the Litharge Slags which you weighed in this last Trial to 10cwt 2qu 6lb

We have rec[eive]d your letter of the 23rd and are sorry to see the difficulty that you have laboured under in getting the Litharge Casks filled and assure you that unless we can have this business so contrived as to keep you and the workmen clear of the difficultys you mention we shall drop it and by way of relieving you from the trouble of getting it in at the Bung we see there will be no way that can be depended upon but taking out th

Messrs Walkers Fishwick & Co. Farnacres 26 May 1787.
Gentlemen
Yesterday we received a letter from Messrs Mulcaster acquainting us that upon Tryal they find the filling of the Casks with Litharge at the Bunghole to be not only a very tedious but unwholesome business being in their opinion much worse than the Sifting of Litharge, for tho’ the Lumpy part of the Litharge be all broken so as no part shall be more than three inches any way in size, which is the Diameter of t

Messrs Mulcaster Farnacres 29 May 1787.
We have rec[eiv]ed you two letters of the 27th & that of the 28th Inst and observe you have done right in filling no more than 7 Casks with Litharge which compleats the Quantity agreed upon. What you observe as to a Beam and Scales capable of weighing six or seven hundred weight at a Cast as also with respect to the having a Boring in the end of the Backs is perfectly agreeable to our own Sentiments, but as we have not had any Answer

<Inverscadell> June 14th 87.
Dear Sir,
We are thus far advanced having spent a very pleasant fortnight at Hexham, and part of our time at Mr. Soulsby’s. We then proceeded on to Edinburgh and were much pleased with the Country, from thence here, is entirely over the Mountains for about ninety miles thro’ such Vallies and over such hills as is almost incredible, we were obliged to take horses all the way from Glasgow, but exclusive of the Roads the Country is very romantic.
