Joseph Dickinson of Dufton at Coalcleugh
Dear Sir
I rec[eiv]ed your letter of the 12th Inst & am concerned to find that the indisposition of your family prevented you leaving home during our great Lead Pay; I hope they are now better and that no impediment will arise to prevent you personally attending the Bargains at the time you propose to let them. – The late Sales of Lead at an advance upon the former low price appear to have originated more

Martin Morrison Esq Newcastle Dufton 6th April 1813
Dear Sir,
I now sit down to give you my opinion of the different Lead Mines, with an account of the Bargains we have let, and shall begin as I inspected them, Coalcleugh is poorer in general than last quarter & of course the Prices higher, but believe not equal to the decline of the Mine, The West Flatts which hath been a great support for the some time, is working out, & unless some fresh discovery in that part, wil

Sirs,
Having visited the workings of the Mines under my care, on the 24th, 25th & 26th past, I lett the sundry Bargains, a List of which is annexed.
Rampgill Mine is successful. The eight foremost Bargains on the List are raising a great deal of very excellent Ore. It is a fresh Vein recently cut in the deep Level & never before discovered, is whole for about a mile in Length, & it is certain it might have

Mr Joseph Dickinson Newcastle June 14th 1813
Dear Sir
I have received your letter of the 11th Inst and the intelligence you have received Of Mr Joseph Little’s discharge is true, but I am surprized from his connexion with you, that you have not heard it from himself. Col & Mrs Beaumont have long been of opinion that in point of knowledge & Industry, Mr Little unequal to the important charge of Coalcleugh Mines, and a due regard to their own Interest, determined them to appoin

Report – George Crawhall to Martin Morrison – 30 Jun 1813
Coalcleugh Mines June 30 1813
Coalcleugh High Vein & Flatts produce nearly the whole of the Ore that is raised at this time, but are in a bad state for working or raising Ore to an advantage in the present situation not entirely for want of Ore, as the Ore Workings appear to be tolerably fair at present had there been proper communications for the circulation of Air, more convenient Waygates for Banking the Work, which is done at great expence; all the Old Waygates that was necessary to
Report – Thomas Emerson to Martin Morrison – 30 Jun 1813
Weardale June 30th 1813
Breckonsike is very poor, but I thought it advisable to continue the Low Level, as the Vein has sometimes been dead for as long a distance as at present.
Burtree Pasture Vein is very strong at the fore-end & likely to continue so, but not as rich as it was about the middle of last Quarter, the foremost Working is let to 8 Men at 25s per Bing, we expect to cut into a new length in a few days time.
Kilhope is very poor & not much expectation of being better
Report – William Crawhall to Martin Morrison – 30 Jun 1813
Allenheads June 30th 1813
Allenheads Leadmines are in general poor, excepting two lengths at East End of Whitworth Vein, & the leading forehead in Ditto which is now driving at 35s per Bing. Diana Vein at Craigshield is some better than she has been, but from the extreme hardness of the Flatts, we cannot get her wrought under 42s per Bing.
The Vein cut upon the four fathom Limestone at East End has a very promising appearance but in attempting to sink into the four fathom L
