								Alston 5th. Jan[uar]y 1809

Gent[leme]n,

      As there has been of late a great deal said here about Mr. Thos. Dodd leaving your employ.

      In case it should prove true and that he leaves it. I take this early opportunity of offering you my service. Should I meet with your approbation when you may want a person to manage your Mines I hope I shall give satisfaction. I worked in the Mines for several Years and since I gave over working I have for the last 18 Years been engaged in the direction of a number of Mines in this neighbourhood.

      You’ll please to observe I do not wish to have any persons place from him, but when a vacancy takes place then I will thank you for the situation. But before I can expect it I suppose you will enquire more about me, and as I am well known here I dare venture to refer you to any person or persons who does know me. I am 

      Gent[leme]n Your Very Obed. Servt.

      Wm. Todd

Letter addressed on cover to: The Incorporated Lead Company, Martin’s Lane, Upper Thames Street, London
