I rec[eiv]ed yours with March account which runs very high, the Oar got in that, & the former
Qua[rte]r costs Mr Blackett more than he can sell it for, for lead now is not worth more than £12 & I don’t believe any Body will give that for a large Quantity. All the lead wee have got down this Year is unsold, & no body will buy at any price, you must therefore shorten your hand, & what will not work at 22s or 23s a Bing all charges
