Messrs Mulcaster 							Farnacres 19th May 1787.



       We have rec[eive]d your letter of the 15th. Six assays including the two for Rampgill which were omitted being sent before. Blagill North Vein Lead we conclude is not refineable without looking at the Tables. Having written to Mr Airey about the Litharge, I postpone saying anything more ‘til I see him tomorrow when I expect he will be here and give me some account of the matter.

20th May 1787. I have seen Mr Airey who has rec[eive]d a letter from Messrs Walkers Fishwicks & Co. from which it appears that they have sent off 10 Casks by Friday’s Carriers; those as well as any others you may receive from them, you are desired to fill ‘til you get to the length of 150 cwt including the two casks which contained 15 cwt being those last sent off; but don’t send any more Litharge off than that Quantity (150 cwt) tho’ Mr Fishwick & Co. sh[oul]d send you Casks, unless you sh[oul]d receive our further Directions on this Business. We are

       Yours etc

       W & T
