To Mr Hopper.                               Farnacres 11th Septemr 1773



Sir 

       As you have ordered Bone Ashes sufficient to answer your own occasions, it seems to me that it will be the best way for us to take the whole of those now at Newburn, & you may repay us in kind when your first fifty arrive from London, by delivering ten Casks into our Warehouse; this will, I think, put an end to all difficulties, if you think so too, I beg it may be so fixed.

       £13.5 P Stockton Fodder of Lead is just equal to £12.12.11 1/4 P Newcastle Fodder.  We now sell at £13 and £13.2.6 P Newcastle Fodder and could buy Lead at Stockton at that rate.

       I shall be glad to hear from you and am with Compliments to Mr Monkhouse.

       Sir Your humble Servt

      N W Junr  

Mention of Mr Monkhouse strongly suggests this was Anthony Hopper, who shared Allendale Smelting Mill with Wm Monkhouse in the 1780s

A two year community project, it was led by the Friends of the North Pennines in partnership with Hexhamshire and Slaley Parish Councils and the active support of Allendale Estates. It was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and the generous support of other sponsors. Friends of the North Pennines: Charity No:1137467
