Ore in 1822? and 1832

Received three Copies of the Agreement for Lands attached to Langley Smelt Mills, & forwarded them to Mr George Lee, requesting to have two of them returned to me, with the signature of the parties.  Forwarded to Mr Hooper a comparative view of the produce of Ore from the Hospitals Mines in the years 1822 and 1832, as furnished by Mr Thomas Dickinson.



Simpson, Painter

       Rode to Thornbrough & thence to Newtonhall & Whittle, to inspect the Buildings going on there, and give directions respecting them.   Agreed with Mr Simpson, a painter, to go to the farms of Wooley, Greymare Hill, Fairle & Sproats Farms, to give a coat of Paint to the doors and window frames which I found in a decaying condition.  Some of the Windows, may, hang together for a while by help of putty and paint,  the others, I fear, may have to be renewed.
