Gentn	Mr Blackett received your favour of the 7th instant and is much obliged to you for the information you have given him respecting a Meeting of the Proprietors of Mines with you _ Mr B has since his last Sale (of which you were acquainted) Advanced the Price of Ref[ine]d Lead to £17 per Fo[dde]r but will have little or none to sell still late in the Spring _ Messrs Lancaster & Co & Messrs Walker’s & Co have made offers for a Pretty large Quantity to supply some Foreign Commissions, but they could not be supplied here.  There is very little Lead at this Market, & should there be a brisk demand Mr B. intends to lay a further Advance from it                                                                                                      I am etc  J.E.B
