Sir

I received Yesterday by the Carrier two pieces of Silver one weighing Five hundred & Eighty eight ounces & a half, & the other Four hundred & forty three ounces.

I should be glad to know how there happens to be so great a difference in the Yielding of the two Quantities of Coalcleugh to Lead of nearly the same weight. I am etc    HR
