Mr. Westgarth Coalcleugh							



Dr. Sr.

       On the 15th. inst I was at Allanheads Mill where I saw Ore from Coalcleugh most shamefully dressed, the most so of any that I ever saw come f’m her since you was concerned; it was all alike, for I cannot say whether the Round or Small was worst.   I thought it had been some that the Carriers had taken wth.out Orders but Mr. Crawhall told me that it was all much a like tho he did think what had come last was the Worst.  What we have got to this Mill of late is not so good as usual (tho much better than the above) and particularly the Round Ore.   I beg you’ll give Orders to prevent the like for the future & am Yrs. &c
