Mr. Forster Allanhds.



Dr. Sr.

       The Ore we are now Receiving f’m your place is not so well dressed as it ought to be, tho better than what I complain’d of on the 3rd. inst. that you not hasten it away on Accot: of our wanting it to Smelt before its properly examined as to being well dress’d, have set the Smelters on to Smelt Coalcleugh for a fortnight’s time, so hope you’ll give such Orders as will prevent any coming to the Mill till properly dressed for the future.   I have ordered 5 Bings to be weigh’d & Wash’d & 5 to be wrought unwashed for a Trial & shall acquaint you wth the result of it wch will fully prove that I have not complained wth.out a just case & am yrs. &c. IH Jr.
