We have received your Letters of the 27th & 30th Ulto and also the accompanying papers therein mentioned for which we are much obliged to you. We have not had time yet to look thro' the Estimatory Paper relative to the Values of the respective Ores in Alston Moor but on thinking of the busyness we judge it may not be expedient to give all the Lead Mine Adventurers information as to our

J.E.Blackett Esqr. Newcastle Dukesf[iel]d 4th Feb 1782
Sir,
I have made three Assays of the Newbiggin Ore, One f[ro]m the Round, another f[ro]m Round & Small mix[e]d the other f[ro]m the Small and find, taking the medium of these three Assays would require 5 Bings nearly to make a Fod[der] or 21 Cwt of Lead. I do suppose that the Ore I got was the best then at the Bank, so that one cannot expect to get a quantity to yield equal to it, but I think we might venture to calculate it’

We have recd your letters of the 6th & 7th & very much approve of what you have done as to Thomas Ions and the Lead Carriers. We think this matter shd. not be carried further as we hope what has been done will have the desired effect but doubt that Frost will soon stop the Navigation between Newcastle & Newburn.

We received both yours of the 4th & 12th inst relative to the School at Deanraw, and think Willm. Swinburn has behaved very impudently and improperly in sending his Sons there without applying to you or us, for as he did not contribute towards the Building, we think him not entitled to any expectation of use from the School except by permission, & therefore unless he comes to you and acknowledges his fault in sending the Bo

My Father orders me to acquaint you that no more Lead must be delivered except what is to go directly for Newcastle, he being determined that no more shall go to Newburn ‘til the present Quantity there is delivered into the Warehouse, in which time it may be seen what other Wherrymen it may be proper to employ.

I am exceedingly vexed indeed on acct. of the falling of the outer Leaf of the Refinery Wall, and desire immediate Steps may be taken for getting the <Damage> repaired; but in case the Wall which supports the Outer End of the Axis will stand ‘til the Season gets better, I shd. be very glad of that, and then there will be time to get every thing ready before beginning to make the Repair, and I wish too that the whole of the Ref

Messrs. Mulcaster
I dare say it is not necessary for me to desire you not to have the Stamp Mill at Work ‘till the Wall of the Refinery is rebuilt and even after that, the Stamp work must stand ‘till all is got well set and steady. I shall order two Bushels of Tarras to set the Hewn work in & possibly you may receive it by tomorrow’s Carrier. When it is used the following directions must be observed
Take two parts Tarras Two Parts fine fresh Powder of Lime One Part

Messrs. Mulcaster
When you were both here we acquainted you that we were apprehensive there might be some small Errors in the Tables for ascertaining the Refineable Lead when compared with the Rise of Lead and Silver at Market. Having now carefully examined the whole we find the Calculation for the Ore Lead so nearly right that it is not worthwhile to alter the Tables, but with regard to the Slag Lead we found it necessary to make a new Set of Tables a
