Letter – Nicholas Walton to Peter Mulcaster – 18 Jun 1785
Messrs. Mulcaster
From the above [below] it wd. seem that the above 7 pieces were not part of the 15 that John Bell pd. us for, if so and Mr. Thornton, James Johnson or John Bell has still to pay for them then we shall be right in having only recd. of Wm. Bell for 3 pieces. You’ll observe that Mr. Thorntons request is dated the 10th of August so that the Lead must have been delivered at Hexham thereabouts by James Johnson but the 15 pieces are set down in the Operation ending 30th.

Letter – Nicholas Walton to Peter Mulcaster – 18 Jun 1785
Messsrs. Mulcaster Farnacres 18 June 1785
We are sorry to find on examining the Lead Carriers Accounts that Wm. Bell was actually 10 pieces short instead of 3, and ought to have paid for 10. The Mistake arose by James Johnson being allowed 7 pieces as sold by him at Hexham to Jno. Bell, being part of 15 which John Bell paid us for when we settled with him for laying the Pipe at Lightbirks. Now it appears from the Operation ending the 30th. October that the whole 15 pieces are ther
