Mr Dixon 

            I perceive by yr letter tht Some of my work men are indebted to you about £15 or £16 pound, below you have an ordr to Ja: Mewburn when he makes a pay to deduct it for you, I had a letter lately from H. Tulip, who gives me an acct of what lead is laying at the Mill, he is so far mistaken in his acct tht I dare say there are not one half of the tuns he gives me an acct off so I desire you upon receipt of this letter you will ordr H. Tulip to go up wth you to the Mill wth you, & take an acct how many pieces of lead there is made of the waste Oar, & how many pieces Mr Loraine has made of the Slaggs, & Send me the Number of pieces by the very first post, & you will oblige 

              yr assured Friend to Serve you
