Dufton 16th October 1808
Dear Sir
In examining the Mines at Coalcleugh I found several of the old workings poorer than before, and have been under the necessity of advancing the price from 48s to 50s per Bing, the leading foreheads and Principal flatts are nearly the same prices as before, and upon the whole expect Coalcleugh will produce near 3000 Bings of Ore this Year. Wellhope Mines are generally worked out at the west End, the east end more promising, some small quantities

After a general Survey of the Co’s. Mines under my management, I let on the 10, 11 & 12 last the Sundry Bargains of which a list is annexed.
