Part of Postscript of Messrs Walton & Smeatons Letter of 10 Mar 1771 to Mr Chr Bell



I beg to know by return of Post what Lead is in Hexham and on the Road between the Mill and there and between Hexham & Newburn as near as you can come at it; & I desire youll get all down as fast as possible.  If the Dilston and Thornbrough people can give us one day more a piece from Hexham I should like it, but dont desire it without you see it necessary.  You may tell the Carriers that unless they use the utmost dispatch we will not make a Lead Carriers Pay til October & then only pay for what was delivered to the latter end of December last when the Carriage was stopped at the Mill 

      N Walton Junr
