Mr Rt Morrow Blaydon Dukesfd 8th Feby. 1779
Dr. Sir
I recd. your several Letters wth. the accots. of Back Carriage &c in due course and was surprized to find by yours of 31st. Ult. that I had made so great a mistake (in the Accot. I sent you on the 27 of the Delivy fm each Mill of Sir Thos. Blackett’s Lead) as one thousand pieces, but it sometimes happens when one’s for being the exactest that they commit the greatest Blunders wch has been the case wth me for I was for being so exact & correct in the Accots. sent you that I examined each Mills Quarter, Month & General Accots. of their delivery and they all agreed Viz
Dukesfd 21,058 8 sto ps
Allanhds 2,175
Rookhope 9,552 11,021
Total 32,785 11,021
On receiving yours I immediately applied to the wast paper where I had made the comparison above named & the Quantities exactly agreed wth those above given, so that I had omitted 1000 ps. in copying them from that Paper into the Accot. sent you – the Want will be 34 ps wch I hope you’ll be able to find (and soon) either among your Wainmen or Rookhope Lead for if even other circumstances would alow’d us to have paid the East Carriage, I think it would have been wrong to pay them while so much Lead is wanting.
I hope youll lose no time in making the necessary inquiry to make out the Dukesfd Lead and that you may accomplish and soon is the Wish of
Dr. Sr. your Hble servt
I Hunter Jr
