On the 29th will be obliged to trouble you for £300 for subsistence
The Markittable Lead is all sent f'm this & Allanh[ea]ds Mill, the Carriers f'm Rookhope are very tardy but expect that this Mill's Carriers will enliven then as a part of them will be now going to that Mill having nothing for them here but as its Smelted. I am
