To Mr William Laybourne Farnacres 23rd July 1771
Mr Laybourne
I reced your Letter of the 26th instant (wch. I suppose should have been dated the 19th) and observe the Contents.
The price asked by the Lead Carriers, tho' less than what we have either paid or offered, is yet too much; for why should we pay more for Carriage of a Cask weighing 11Stone than a Pig of Lead weighing 12 Stone and particularly as it is back Carriage? it surely ought in reason to be less

Letter – Nicholas Walton to Peter Mulcaster – 4 Aug 1771
Mr. Mulcaster Farnacres 4th August 1771
I reced the Bullion safe and have sent the whole for London including the small piece. I made the wt. of the whole 719 1/4 Ozs.
I think from what Mr Tweddell says (I saw him at Newcastle) that the Coals he tells me of are likely to answer for Reducing; he says they are lean exceedingly so and burn vastly open.
It gives me pleasure you are satisfied that the Quantity of Peats are sufficient.
Directions are this day sent to

Dear Sir
I have this day drawn upon you for £217.5.6 being the Amount of 719 1/4 Ounces of Bullion at 6s1/2d P Ounce.
The Bullion being cut into so many pieces will I doubt make it more difficult to Pack, so as to prevent its moving than before but we will take care to pack what comes in future, better than that last sent for I observed it was very loose in the Box which was too large for it.
I have been very poorly for some
