Mr. Maughan Newhouse



Sir

       I beg you’ll give such Orders to those that Delivers the Ore that will prevent any from going to the Mill till properly dressed; when there last Wednesday I saw from several of the Groves Ore that was not so well as it ought to be; we do not expect when the Groves are poor to get the Ore so good as when Rich but in both cases it should be taken pain with & more sow when the mine is poor.   However I hope you’ll indeavour to let us have the Ore sent to the Mill as clean as possible.  I am wth. Compts. to Mrs. Maughan 

       Dr. Sir yor. Hble Servt.

       IH Jr
