To Mr Isaac Hunter J[unio]r at Dukesfield                          Newcas[tle] 30 June 1765



Sir        I desire you will send me a computation what you think S[i]r W[alte]r ought to ask S[i]r Lan[celot] Allgood a fother for smelting his Lead ore at Dukesfield Mill & you will take into consideration whe[the]r ashis ore is so difficult in fluxing it will not take both more workmans[hi]p & fuel than S[i]r W[alte]rs own ore; & let me have all the particulars of the charge & add these to what you think ought to be charged per foth[e]r for wear & tear. Let me also know whether any sort of inconvenience will arise to Sir Walters own business by his accommodating Sir Lance[lo]t with smelting 500 bings at Dukesfield Mill.

I desire you will let me have an answer hereto as soon as possible that is by Tuesdays post if you can, or else you must send somebody on purpose with it; for Sir W[alte]r wants to hear from me about it on Thursday. I am etc HR
