        Mr. Jobling 2   These two were sold since the 11th of April 

                        as they are not in the Operations before.

PS. I have found the Operations & on examining don’t find Mr. Joblings two last Pigs are taken Notice of so you will explain this.

      I observe there were a Mill two Pair of <…pes> and a Shovel as also 4 Pounds 

of Steel got for Deanraw Colliery be so good as take care of the Materials. – Also two Kibbles & the Corves.

      There are no Rects. For Ann Browns Carriage of the Coals &c. from Deanraw to Langley Mill which there shd. have been to the Amount of £1:15:10. & therefore instead of being indebted to you £21:9:1 on Accot. of this Colliery it will be so much less as is equal to her Charge.

      You have sent two Rects. For Carriage of Wood from Dilston & Langley Mill to Alston, amounting to £15:16:6 which shall pay you for at Meeting on Friday Morning the 17th Instant & beg you’ll be at Hexham by Seven o Clock that Morning & I will settle and pay you everything so pray bring the Note I gave you on which there is £40…due to you.
