Mr. Crawhall Coalcleugh



       Dr. Sr. I have recd the Sample of Ore you spoak off, it’s much better than what came at first, tho not so well dressed as it ought.   I see that yr. Ore is naturaly of a better quality & if your Washrs. were to take half the pains that was take wth. what we got 2 yrs. ago it would exceed any that ever came f’m her in my Time.   As your Ore (by yr Sample) is much better in Quality, let me beg of you to do it justice in the Dressing that we may be able to remove the Slur it has got by last yrs. produce.   I dread to meet Mr. Richmond after he gets the Accot.       IH Jr
Undated and has been given the date of the preceding letter in the book
