Mr. Richmond N.Castle						



Sir

       Here with you’ll receive a Box containing two Plates of Silver as p[er] inclosed Acot the latter plate you’ll find not so large as the other in proportion to the Quantity of Lead that its made f’m, owing to the great quantity of Slag Lead wch. is poorer in Silver than the Ore Lead – we have wrought up all the Slag Lead, and Marked the Ld made fm the Litharge wth. an LS according to the directions you gave last Novr. I advised Mr. Morrow of it that he might keep it separate fm  the other Refined Ld.   I wrote to Mr. Hall the Co’s Agent in Septr. acquainting him that if he would call upon you at N.Castle you would settle the affair of Apperley Lane & if he would give me a Line when he would be at N.Castle should meat him there but have not heard any thing fm him.

       & am yrs. &c IH. Jr.
