Mr Forster Allanheads



Dr Sir

      I have consulted with Walton in regard to the Wood Carriage to the mines, and we have agreed to put it upon the following plan – the Wood Carriers to go 3 Days in the Week with Wood so long as they have in their Hands; twice one week to your place and once to Coalcleugh, the succeeding week twice to Coalcleugh & one to your place which he thinks will get up all the Wood, and that each 8 Horses carry 6 full Load of wood to be entitled to 2 Bings of Ore to the Mill and in that proportion for the other No. of Horses. I have wrot Mr Dickinson this – shall see you soon & then will settle with you who we will choose to let have ore on the Set Days – let Thos. Bell have whiles a catch of the Wood Days  

      Yrs &c   IH:Jr
