Sir/ I am sorry to find, by Mr Salkeld’s acc[oun]t for August that only 762 p[iece]s of Lead are delivered fm Dukesfield mill. You know we wanted to have 5000 p[iece]s down to Blaydon before winter; & now, that we are likely to have a peace, we must have more if possible: Therefore I desire you will set on all the carr[ie]rs you can; only do not be too urgent with them lest you occasion a demand for more price but act with discression. P.S. Pray forw[a]rd the inclosed by a safe hand so that Mr Hunter may have it on Sunday night at furthest, for it relates to his being at Hexham on Monday. I am etc   HR

A two year community project, it was led by the Friends of the North Pennines in partnership with Hexhamshire and Slaley Parish Councils and the active support of Allendale Estates. It was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and the generous support of other sponsors. Friends of the North Pennines: Charity No:1137467
