Mr Morrison Newhouse Dufton. Jany 5th 1811
I now sit down to give you the present situation of the different Lead Mines, and first Coalcleugh Leadmine in general poorer than last quarter, and of course some of the lowest prices a little advanced. The East end nearly the same as before; continues to go forward in two distinct Veins both poor at present, no Bargains at Coalcleugh under 35s per Bing, and all the way to 50s and more above that price.
