Sir

       This morning I was wth. The Refiners & fix’d Thursday for their taking of the Silver, so that you may wth. certainty expect & receive two Plates by the Fridays Carrier – the Note of Iron got in 1771 of Hodgson & Co. was Charged to them in that yrs. Accot. & the Cash rests in my hand owing to some old Iron Castings they got f’m this Mill wch. are not accounted for, I called upon Mr. Hodgson the 15th of Last June & he could not settle it then the Books being at the Forge but that He would examine them the first time he was there & we were to settle it the next time we meet, but have not seen him since shall call upon him next week & put an end to it.   Am obliged to your for your advice wch. I would have immediately followed if I had not seen Mr. Forster at the Fair who promised hr would speek to Mr. Trevelyan this Week but if I do not hear f’m him soon shall wate upon him myself – I have found the mistake of the Sum wanting in the Check-Book all to 13d.
