Letter – Isaac Hunter to John Erasmus Blackett – 26 Sep 1799
Dr Sir,
I am sorry you should have given Col Beaumont the trouble of writing to me respecting the lead carriage. I am confident I always obeyed your orders as punctually as lay in my power & that every attention has been paid towards forwarding the Lead as expeditiously as possible. I have adopted every method I could devise for that purpose: when Col Beaumont’s Lre came to Dukesfield I was amongst the Carriagemen on the northside of Derwent. Mr Smith took the Southside what I s
