If you think that the 8,734 p[iece]s of Coalcleugh Lead sent f'm this Mill w[i]th the 13,148 8 stone p[iece]s f'm Rookhope Mill will be sufficient for to keep the Refinery at Blaydon working w[i]th the Old Stock on hand till next year shall make them smelt only Com[m]on 

Lead at Rookhope while the Carriage is on f'm that Mill. I am
