Your letter of the 29th Ult I received on Friday last and in answer take the first opportunity of informing you that I think it will be most convenient in every respect to go in with the Unrefineable Ore til you see the contrary.
We have never had a right Tryal made of Old Cowslitts Ore whether it will refine or not, I suppose it will not but it will certa

Letter – Nicholas Walton to Peter Mulcaster – 10 Jun 1770
Mr Mulcaster. Farnacres 10th June 1770
I have tryed the Assays, and the piece of Silver Answers exceedingly well to them, but this Cake, as well as the last, falls considerably Short in Quantity pFodder, compared with former Operations. We can however expect no more than the Lead itself will afford, and as the Quantity of Silver answers the Assays we must rest assured that the Work has been properly done.
I thi

Mr Mulcaster. Farnacres. 24th June 1770
The Lead Mill Pay will be on the 29th October being a Monday and the day following we shall pay the Lead Carriers.
I have Ordered 100 Casks of Bone Ashes and expect to receive them before Winter some time.
I doubt we can scarce depend upon our present Carriers to take off our whole Quantity; indeed they seem determined to try whether we can make use of the Hospitals Interest with the Tenants or not. If we make that Expe

Sir Since we talked of building an Additional Peat house at Rookhope Mill I have been considering that as no one goes thither but from Weardale Mine and as Sir Walter is not likely to obtain a renewal of the Lease, from the Bishop, of those Mines, it will be more prudent to let the Building alone - which I desire you will do and that you will make Sufficient provision in time ever
