To Richd. Horne Esqr                                       	Ravensworth Castle   June 24 1759



Sir

      We have reced. no proposals for purchasing the dues of Lead Ore, we begg leave to acquaint you therewith that no time may be lost therein. The price of Lead here, is much fallen and it is apprehended will be much lower if the Warr continues.  According to our calculation Bouse Ore, should be now worth 50 s per Bing & Cutting Ore 45s per Bing, but as the Dues have never been sold up to these prices in proportion to the price of Lead, it is not to be expected now, particularly as the marketts may be lower.

      I am for Mr Boag & Self Sir yours etc N Walton
