I have already very decidedly expressed my opinion to you that in order to improve the quality of our Lead as well as increase the produce it is necessary to have the Ore well and carefully roasted.

The Baron of <Suglend & Sywith> was saddened to return to the <Treforesie> without having the honour of paying his respects to My Lord Grey, when he learnt that the time of His Excellency's stay in the countryside was uncertain. Consequently the Baron of Suglend dares to hope that His Excellency would like to indicate to him a time which would be most convenient to him for this purpose.

About twelve months ago, when Mr Wailes was not expected to live, Ld Grey and You expressed to me an anxious Wish, that Mr Grey of Millfield, in the event of a Vacancy, should be appointed one of the Receivers of the Greenwich Hospital Estates in Northumberland. I acquiesced and I believe some communication was made to Mr Grey at the Time, which may have led him to expect the offer of this appointment from me on the first occurre

Dear Sir James
I leave no time in giving you, as you desire, my opinion on Mr Grey’s letter, in the first place premising that the candid & business-like manner in which he expresses himself does him much credit and fully justifies the offer which you have made to him – The points upon which he appears most to feel hesitation are, the pledge to have no avocation from the duties of the Receivership, the residence at Hexham, and the amou

I am very sorry that Mr Grey should have taken the trouble of coming to London for the purpose of having an interview with me. I had endeavoured to make the original offer to him in very explicit terms; and they did not admit of variation, since Mr Brandling is treated unjustly, if Mr Grey be favored by the conditions of his appointment differing materially from those, which Mr Bra
