We shall certainly make a Lead Mill Pay some time about the latter end of April or beginning of May and we wish to

Having considered the Freight of the Bone ashes from London to Newcastle I think it will be the best way to fix it at £2.2. for every 50 Casks and I have therefore made out an Acct below which may be included in the settling for the Three Hundred Pieces of Lead sold to Mr Fish. I think Two Guineas quite sufficient and hope every one will be satisfied with it being settled in this way. I am
