Mr Hunter complains that the Oar reced from the heads to Dukesfield miln, has been very wet, & particularly what was sent from Allisons Shaft, he says its occasioned by the <.arg.s> throwing water upon it to make it weigh, but then Robt Dixon or the Person who delivers the Oar to your Carriers could not but observe it, I desire you'l make enquiry into the Matter & punish those you find guilty of a practice so Injurious to the proprietors. Dukesfield pay is fixed for the 14 June I presume you'l not come for any subsistance before that time.  I am etc    J.R.
