In regard to the New Office Sir Thomas says He wou'd have you consider what Street and place will be most convenient for taking a House for the present time & then to talk to Mr. Anderson about Building a New Office and where.  With respect to Mr. Peart House  Sir Thomas says he will settle that point when he has the pleasure of seeing you.  In regard to the proposal made by Mr. Robson and concerning Lead Mines on Wall Fell Sir Thomas says he wou'd have them strictly examined by some of his Lead Agents and a Trial made for ore & then make their report & He will then give orders what he will have done but he has no Idea of Letting a Lease.  Sir Thomas has a plan here for New Offices which he thinks too High by the attick Story but says there is time to talk more about it when Mr.Anderson begins to pull down
