Reverend Sir

      When I had the Honn[ou]r to wait on my Lord last week his Lordship asked me at what price he might dispose of his Lead Oar I then told him not under fifty shillings per Bing (or 64 ston) last night I was with La[w]yer Cuthbert who told me that Lead advances in its price, Lead Oar being now at 50sh <and> 56sh per Bing and still rising in its price. I thought it proper his Lordship shoud know this without delay. 

      Peter Whitfield is now privetly observing what Mr Blackets people are doing at the lead mines he will be at this place this night in order to wait on my Lord. I beg you would lett me know what day in this week will be most proper to wait on my Lord and I shall bring him down according to his Lordships order.  I ask pardon for this freedom and begg leave to be

      Reverend Sr Your most humble and Obedient Servant

      Andrew Dickson
