Mr. Isaac Hunter Newcastle 14th. June 1800
Dukesfield
Mr. Isaac Hunter
Some of your Men from Dukesfield have been with Coln. & Mrs. Beaumont, with a Petition for an Advance of Wages, they refused to hear them and refer them to you to pay the same Wages as we settled, & as much as paid at Langley Mill &c. – they may have Rye at a reduced Price in Case that you will send for it, Coln. & Mrs. B. are surprized that you did not mention to them this Application of the Men as you must have known of it. You informed me that you had agreed with the East Carriage, I understand that is not the Case and that we are likely to loose many of them, you certainly should have made personal Applications to all Colonel Beaumonts Tenants, and if you had agreed with the Carriage have acquainted Mr. Emerson and given him their Names, I must desire that no Time may be lost in doing it, and I must likewise insist on a regular Account of the Lead deliver’d from Rookhope Mill being sent to Mr. Emerson at Blaydon as had formerly been done and which I frequently directed. I am &c. J.E.B.
