To     Mr Isaac Hunter at Dukesfield                                       Newcas.   24  July 1770



Sir      as to a little house for Cinders which you propose to have built at Rookhope Mill, I cannot judge whether it is prudent to build it as you do not say what it will cost - I should think you might do for the Time, to come in the Lease of Weardale Mine, as well as you have done for that that is past - but if there is any Material Advantage to be had by such a Cover for the Cinders and 10, 15 or even £20 will do it I have no Objections.  

     I would have you send the Lead to be made of the Killhope Ore, at Dukesfield as was Allanhead Mill, to Blaydon, as we shall want Lead for that Refinery.                  I am etc    HR
