Dr Sirs

      I have duly recd your letter of the 14th Inst covering Mr W Parkers’ two accepted Bills of Contract for 1500 p[iece]s of Lead sold them on the 8th Inst.

I note your receipt of £353.15.4 from Grace & Freeman & your payment of that sum to Mr Beaumonts Credit with Batson & Co at Glyn & Cos.

	Our present deficiency of Common Lead arises from all or the greater part of the Ore at the sevl Mills being of a description to make Ref Lead that is containing a quantity of Silver worth Refining. I hope a short time will put us in our usual stock.

								BJ
