Dukesfield 7th October 1794 Sir, Isaac shall return to your office when ever you please to order him for I never meant that he should have left it if not agreeable to you and it must be much more desirable to me, to have him in an Office where he’s receiving an Salary than with me with none; I wish you could let him stay till Carriage close at the several Mills as I am not yet able to travel on Horse Back but am gaining strength daily; that I hope I shall not be long of being so. I shall always acknowledge your Friendship on this acco[un]t w[i]th the greatest gratitude w[hi]ch I doubt will be all the return that I can ever make for your many favours that I have rec[eive]d f[ro]m you. It surprised me to find by yours that the Refinery had don less work in this than in former years knowing that the Refiners (working by the piece) are as anxious as soe can be to work a large quantity of Lead in the yr made me look into the acc[oun]ts & have below given you the quantity of Lead reduced each year to the 3d of October for the last 4 yrs by which you’ll see that it has don more this year then any of the other 3 yrs owing to the Furnaces not wanting repairs this yr within that time. I shall do what’s in my power to forward the Lead to Blaydon before winter tho we always have a slack in the Lead carriage in Corn Harvest & Wheat see time both of which I hope are nearly over. I am Sir your mo Obliged and Hble servt Isaac Hunter No p[iece]s Reduced fm Jan to 3d October 1791 1792 1793 1794 8549 8264 8673 9216 Jno E Blackett, Charlotte Square, Newcastle
