To Mr Isaac Hunter at Dukesfield Newcas 29 June 1770
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

Sir as to a little house for Cinders which you propose to have built at Rookhope Mill, I cannot judge whether it is prudent to build it as you do not say what it will cost - I should think you might do for the Time, to come in the Lease of Weardale Mine, as well as you have done for that that is past - but if there is any Material Advantage to be had by such a Cover for the Cinders and 10

Mr Mulcaster Farnacres 29th July 1770
In addition to what I wrote you about the Lead Carriers I now take the first opportunity of acquainting you that instead of their laying the Lead upon the side of the Nubbock & Ellrington Roads, I think it will be better where leave can be had to lay it within the Hedges of the Grounds adjoining those Roads, as that will prevent any advantages which ill- natured People may take on Acct of the Lead lying in the way of Passengers.
