       Dukesfd. 20th. June 1775

Mr. Robt. Allgood Allanhds



Sr. 

       The frequent complaints I have made this Season in regard to the Want of Wt. & the falt not removed made me order all the Ore recd. last Week be weighed, & find that the Quantity short f’m your Grove was 177 lb. tho’ after the 2 first days there was none had short Wt. (but Robt. Archer & he 33 lb in 3 1/2 Bings) but several over Weight, wch shows that the falt is in the Person that delivers the Ore not looking properly to the Carriers when they Weigh their Ore.   wch. I beg you’ll give Orders to prevent for the future.   I am sorry that I cannot commend the Ore (as to its being well dres.d &c) as I expected I might have don f’m the promises you made on that Head when last together, for I find it very little better than what you sent the begining of the Season – pray let us see that you can do better for the time to come & am

       Yrs &c  IH Jr.
