Messrs. Mulcaster

      We have received your letter of the 6th. instant.

      As the people at <Newburn> have <got right again>, we desire you will <rest make every Att...> for the present.

      The Weight of Assays shall be set right agreeable to your Letter.

      The very particular Acc[oun]t you give us respecting <the stealing> of Lead we thank you for, and Mr. Walton has been in Newcastle this day waiting upon the Owners of Lead Mills, and we hope it will be made a Matter of general Concern, and that you will <serve the Advertisement in> this Weeks paper. The Govr. & Co., Henr. Errington Esqr. & Co., and <Dr.> Hall have not yet been applied to, but Mr. Blackett [ie. John Erasmus Blackett] & Wm. Monkhouse & Co. are warmly disposed for making it a joint Concern, and we flatter ourselves all the rest will join. We are 

      Your Hble. Servts

      Walton & Turner



PS. We think the Justices ought to have compelled <Brownhope> to disclose of whom he got the Lead, and on <finding> of his doing so, he certainly ought to have been been <convicted>.

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
