Inclosed you’ll have a Copy of the Greengill paybill which I purposed sending some time since, but was prevented by Expectation of getting the old acct settled with Mr. Hutchinson, which is not yet done, alltho’ I have applied to him several times.

I have on the 21st Jany Inst drawn on you as directed for the above Balance payable at Forty days. I offered your Share of Greengill Ore to Mr. Gilbert as I before informed you on refusal from him I therefore sold it to Henry Errington Esqr. for 54/- as before stated. On dividing the Ore Mr. Gilbert received upwards of two Bings of yours which his Agent refuses paying more for than 50 pr Bing. As this is so trifling a matter I have taken no Notice of it in your Acct, but entered the whole in your Acct. at 54/-. The next Division of Ore I expect to get myself rectified. Mr. Gilbert when here along with me viewed the Situation of Greengill G.

There are other eight men employed in the old Workings raising Ore at 30/- pr Bing. So soon as any material alteration happens you shall be informed thereof by R H
