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.
