Messrs. Mulcaster					Farnacres 23 May 1783



      We have recd. your Letter of the 20th inst, and we cannot by any means understand James Watsons Direction which he has given to you, we shall not order any Timber ’til you get clear Instructions from him. We are indeed much surprised to receive such an Acct. from you, and thought upon reading your Letter that we must have been mistaken, and really it astonishes us you could be so readily imposed upon. The Slates must be got from Lough Green and you are desired to apply to Mr. Thornton immediately as to that.

      We beg you will do every thing that is necessary to be secure in making the Trial to cure the smoaky Chimnies and are 

      Your Hble Servts.

      Walton & Turner
