I cannot pay the lead Carriers till the 2 q[uarter]s of lead be found, so if they be willing to deduct for the 2 q[uarter]s lead will ord[e]r W[illia]m Low[e]s to pay their money, & if they are found amongst the undertakers lead shall pay them their money againe, upon Receipt of this letter do you pay the 20 Shillings concerning the Wall Dumm
