Honourd Sir
I have endeavoured since my last to discover what the peoples Sentiments are with Regards to your Lre not being read last Monday, & that it is generally attributed to Ald[erma]n Claytons & Sorsbys indisposition preventing a Constitution, which keeps all quiet at present; yet the more discerning part who perceive the Fallacy are exasperated at it, and say you neglect y

Mr Peart Newcastle 1 Febr[uar]y 1732
My Lre of the 21st Decem[be]r acquainted you that according to Daltons Assay, Westgatehead oar was rich in Silver, I am now to acquaint you, that upon a second Tryal he finds it does not hold 4oz in a Fother w[hi]ch will not answer the charge of working, his mistake was occasion’d by making the first tryal in a Pot that had been us’d before; This affair has I doubt made a noise in the Country, I wish it may be no Inducem[en]t to make the Bishop stan

Mr Rudd Newcastle 1st Febr[uar]y 1732
In my Lre of the 21st Dec[embe]r I told you to keep & smelt Westgatehead oar separate & to mark up the Lead WB1, but I am now to tell you the contrary, w[hi]ch is, that you must mix both the Oar & [superscripted: <Bisby> w[i]th] the Common oar, for Dalton was guilty of a Blunder in making his Assay in a Pot used before, for on a second Tryal in a clean Pot, I find those oars are as poor as any in Weardale, & won’t bear the Charg
