Messrs Mulcaster, 						Farnacres 3rd September 1787.



       We are glad to hear you have at last got the Hay home & when you know the whole Expence desire youll send us an Account of that. We think it will be the best way to take an acknowledgement for the small Quantity of Peats cast by Robert Pearsons Grandson. We approve of [what] you have done about ordering or rather desiring that no more Fern Ashes may be sent for the present and we are much obliged to y[ou]r Brother who was so good as to write to us much to the same effect as you have done.

       Thomas Temperley writes us that our orders about getting as much Ore in as possible shall be attended to and adds – If it should happen as it formerly has done that a considerable Quantity of Ore should at the end of the Year be Weighed over and resting at the Mines and it is our desire he and John Friend will take the Duty of it. We own that it is quite our Wish that the Duty of it should be taken and unless there should in your Opinion be any Material objection to that it is our desire that you should write to Messrs Temperley & Friend to do so. We are

       Your Humble Servants

       Walton & Turner
