Mulcaster Farnacres 11th. July 1785 Above you have an account of the errors in the several Operations for last Years Ore which are in little compass but Outcome a very odd one. The determination as to the having the Blagill Mill first done was a mistake of my own making and not Thomas Woods and he therefore did right in ordering the Men to work for the upper Mill first & we expect you are now at work taking down the side wall of the Bellows House. I gave directions to Thomas Wood to get the Wood for the <Stocks> of John Richardson & hope he has wrote accordingly by <Rewcastle & ptnrs> who I saw on Saturday with him. When your Cash is so much exhausted as to require a further Supply you shall have one & pray write in time. The sooner you have it the better as we know you’ll take care of it. The Bellows come much higher now than in 1766. Those for Smelting cost £36. 15. - besides Shipping Freight & Carriage and the Refining Bellows in proportion. Pray do you not think we ought to have the new Smelting Bellows as well as the new Refining ones? I am very glad you have got 10 Cart Loads of the Clargill Slates and much approve of their being used rather than Lough Green Slates but great care must be taken to have them good & sound. I am Your Humble Servant Nich. Walton Junr. PS. As soon as the Brick business is over I desire to have such further particulars as you may see proper. 1784 June 26 44 Refineable weighed 43 3 18 only reported to be 43 in June Operation Octr 2 16 Refineable weighed 15 2 13 May 7 100 Do. at the Ore Hearth 100 - 23 7 Do. at the Slag Hearth 7 - 12 166 3 10 151 Reported to have been Refined 151 - 22 15 lost or mislaid 45 2 16 Date of Directions for Messrs.
