Messrs. Mulcaster						Farnacres 2nd. July 1785



      We have recd. your Letters of the 25th., 28th. & 30th. now before us and after having fully considered all of the matter as to the Slates are of Opinion that it will be right to get them from Alston moor for New Reducery and Refinery as also for the new part of Blagill Mill, if you can get them of the kind that will stand and therefor especial care must be taken as to this.

      James Johnsons Recets. are come safe to hand. His behaviour about carriage makes it necessary to encourage others rather than him.

      Your Humble Servts.

      Walton & Turner
