Letter – Henry Richmond to Isaac Hunter – 7 Jan 1766
To Mr Isaac Hunter at Dukesfield Newcas[tle] 7th Jan[ua]ry 1766
Sir I have rece[iev]ed the two pieces of Silver by Rt. Little the weight of the larger is 4453 oz and the other 2772oz. Both sorts of Lead have yielded very well in Silver but the waste in reducing the Coalcleugh Lead is very great. You’l see it is a twelvth part whereas Hackford is little more than a fourteenth, pray how can this be accounted for ?

Sir I desire you will look over the inclosed copy of a draught which was left with me by Isaac Thompson for confirming as he calls it the division of Ingo Moor, made about 70 years ago: and when we meet, which I suppose will be before Sir W[alte]r goes for London, we will talk the matter over.

Picadilly London Newcas[tle] 27 Jan[ua]ry 1766
Hon[oure]d Sir I hope you are well after your Journey. The advertisement about Unthank Colliery was not inserted in the last Saturdays papers; because Mr Brown had not sent the plan of the Colliery as he promised, and which was to have been sent to Mr Grey previous to the publication. And it is well it was not inserted as Mr Bro

In Hexham Newcas[tle] 31 Jan[uar]y 1766

Hon[ou]rd Sir Alderman Partis died this morning; and the Magistrates in Town seem, by what I can learn, to be much divided who to have in his room; they all incline for Mr Stephenson, but there is little likelihood of his being here against the Election and they are none of them for Mr Baker, tho’ the passing over him will certainly

Sir As to the giving Copies of the particulars sent you relating to Unthank Colliery to any persons inquiring after them I should think it no way necessary, the advertisement only mentioning that they may be seen in your hands.

Hon[ou]rd Sir Mr Grey says he received the inclosed anonymous Letter by the Post on Fryday last, but makes no conjecture of the quarter it may have come from. If I do not mistake the author, he is more dissatisfied with the Colliery than the advertisement. Mr Brown thought enough was inserted to excite those, who
