Messrs. Mulcaster Farnacres 25th. June 1785
Last Night we wrote you that we had ordered the Iron and also desiring that some Slates might be got from Alston moor. It is really strange how it could be possible to misunderstand Mr. Walton when he was last at Langley Mill about this matter and it is requested that no more time may be lost in this business & that we may go on getting what is wanted from thence in case the Expense shd. come within tolerable bounds. As the Slates a

We have recd. your Letter of the 14th. Inst and are glad to see so good a Produce of Silver as 890 Ounces from 69 Fodders of Lead.
We desire that the Water Wheels may not be <painted> unless it may be that for the Stamp Mill and we will consider that and let you know further.
We are very much concerned indeed on acct. of poor Wm. Wilson; who we doubt it is too clear must be parted with.

Sir I received a letter Yesterday morning from Mrs. Laidman of Bradford inclosing the late Sir Walter Blackett’s Bond to Mrs. Christian Laidman of Darlington for the payment of £8 Yearly during the term of her natural Life.

Messrs. Mulcaster Farnacres 22nd. July 1785
The business as to the Plumber seems a very extraordinary one to us and we cannot help thinking the Man has an intention of cheating us but he shall not. The usual way when the Plumber employed has Lead delivered to him is that for every Fodder of Lead the Plumber delivers back One Ton of Lead and keeps the One Cwt. or what ever it may be after waste as his own property for the doing of this the allowance is 40s. for Casting for the Ton

Messrs. Mulcaster Farnacres 23rd. July 1785
This morning I have recd. your Letters of the 18th. and 20th. of July Inst. You have mistaken the matter a little regarding the Lead Carriage. The Agreement you have made or rather what Mr. Pattinson agrees to take is 10d. per piece to Throckley. The Lane leading from the Turnpike to Newburn is on the East side of Throckley Ground so the agreement must be to carry the Lead to the Waggon Way which is East of Wallbottle Dean Bridge and thi

I have recd. your Letter of the 23rd. this Evening & desire you will for the future only write by the Southside Post or the Waggons for by the Northside Post I find we frequently lose Two Days but most commonly one Days time is lost.
