I beg to transmit, in this and another Cover, Lead Sales and Cash Account for last month.

Dear Sir
In examining Colonel Beaumonts Lead Mines at this time I find very little alteration at Coalcleugh since last quarter. The West flatts continues nearly the same and the cross cuts to the South at the east end to prove if any part of the Vein was off, to that side is not <…> finished, but upon the whole that Mine continues to raise a considerable quantity of Ore. Wellhope Veins being nearly worked out to the West and the East end still con

After examining the Sundry parts of the Company’s Mines under my direction, I lett on the 22, 23 & 24 past the Bargains, a list of which is annexed, and which I have no doubt will do well. All the Bargains in the different Mines both for Ore and Dead Work are lett as low as the Nature and Situation of them would admit, and in fact the whole extended concerns are put under the most frugal regulation.

Letter – Martin Morrison to Isaac Wilkinson – 10 May 1809
Isaac Wilkinson Esqre Chesterfield Derbyshire Newcastle 10 May 1809
I am this day favored with your Letter of the 10 inst. It is impossible for me to say what the price of Lead may be this summer, particularly so, as great exertion is used to reduce the price by the House you mention, and which the petty dealers & miners will essentially contribute to by accepting so low a price as £30 per fodder . – In my opinion there exists no reason for so great a reduction, nor do I ex

The bargains are let on the lowest terms they will admit of but I am concerned to say that the price of provisions is such that many of the workmen are hard put to it to get bread for their families.
