Sir
Dalton & Robinson who weigh off all our Lead have been with me this day about the short weight w[hi]ch Mr Bonnett says he wants in the first 2000 pieces of Lead, & I think it appears very plain that the Mistake is in weighing the Lead at Rouen, for Mr Bonnett when he wrote to you says he had not weighed it all, therefore had probably Weighed some of the Common lead & computed the whole according to the weight in w[hi]
