We have given directions to our People at Langley Mill to have everything in readiness for filling and delivery of the Litharge. You will be so obliging as attend particularly to the fixing of the Bungs so as to prevent the loss of Litharge & we think it will be right to have them so contrived as to be fixed and shut in the same manner as the Barrel Churn Bung is, but if you think any else way wil

The quantity of Test Bottoms at this Mill could not be wought up here (with the present convinience) in less time then half an year w[hi]ch would increase the Gray Slags much as they must be wrought at the Slag H[ear]th.

Sirs
Having been at Hexham yesterday I had an opportunity of seeing Mr Peter Mulcaster who acquainted me that he thinks it will suit us best to have the Litharge all delivered or at least Packed up in 4 or five weeks and wishes to receive the Casks as soon as possible. You will then be so good as send the Casks as soon as you can & he Mr M hopes there will be at least 100 Casks sent by Friday sand Mondays Carri

Dear Sir
I am sorry to have occasion to trouble you concerning our Lead Carriage but think myself under a necessity of requesting that you will immediately see Mr Outerside and make a point of it with him not only to deliver Tickets to the Carriers when they bring Lead to Dukes Hall, but to take the Lead when the Carriers bring it let the Time of the arrival of the Carrier be what it may, because otherward it will be impossible for us to get our le

We are not a little surprised and indeed hurt on hearing this day from Langley Mill that instead of Casks being sent with the Bungholes in the end we have been sent with Bungholes in the side. It is a matter of more consequence to us to attend to the preservation of the Lives of our Agents at Langley Mill and our Workmen there than any dealing with you Gentlemen can compensate for and therefore unless the Term

Sir
We have received your favor of the 14th and should have been glad to accommodate you with 60 or 80 Fodders more of Litharge but doubt our Quantity of Ore at the Lead Mill will not admit of our furnishing you with much more than the 60 Fodders agreed for as some of the Ore produces Lead which will not bear the Expence of Refining now when Lead bears so high a Price. We will however consult with our Agents at the Lead Mill an

Messrs James Mulcaster and Thomas Temperley upon being asked whether a clear Account of all Lead Ore raised within the Manor of Alston Moor could be made out in any one year ending upon the 12th Day of May, are clearly of opinion that according to the present mode of working Lead Mines within the Manor of Alston Moor (which cannot without a great Inconvenience & Loss be al

We have rec[eive]d your Letters of the 19th and 23rd Inst. And I have written to Mr Fishwick acquainting him that we cannot with convenience furnish him with more than the 60 Fodders of Litharge agreed for: under the circumstances of refined Lead being £21 per Fodder, we apprehend the Lead from Lough Vein we cannot profitably refine. You are desired to do as well as you profitably can as to getting the 60 Fod[ders] to Newcastle, and hope

From what Messrs Mulcaster have said in a letter rec[eive]d from them this Day we take reason to think that we could let you have some more Litharge than the Sixty Fodders agreed for upon the like Terms, if you will therefore send Casks we will try what we can do and will let you have as much more Litharge as we can without putting our works to inconvenience.
You will be so good as let us hear from you

We find that we cannot in prudence at present engage to let you have above Ten Fodders, making in the whole 70 Fodders, but we may possibly be able to let you have more than that Quantity, you are therefore desired to say whether you will
