Messrs. Mulcaster Farnacres 12 March 1786

Letter – Nicholas Walton to Peter Mulcaster – 14 Mar 1786
Messrs. Mulcaster Farnacres 14th. March 1786
We have already wrote to you concerning the Carriage of the Lead, but take this Opportunity of repeating that the price of Carriage for the whole of the Lead marked 85 is to be 12d. per piece from the Mill to Newcastle, and consequently 11d. per piece to Dukes Hall.

We have recd. your Letter of the 22nd. & 23rd. Inst.
It certainly will be right (and indeed wd. be very wrong otherwise) to pay the Lead Carriers 12 d per piece ’til the time they had Notice of our beginning to carry to Dukes Hall, and all the rest of the Lead to be pd. for at the rate of 11 ½.
We are perfectly satisfied that there must have been a Mistake concerning the Assay for the last Operation, and think it
