To Messrs H & J Airey. Farnacres 9th Sept 1773
Gents.
From the above accounts it appears that the Lead is short seven Pieces. Three of which are fallen short since you have reced them at the Warehouse and four which the Carriers seem to have fallen short in the delivery; but I am realy apprehensive the Stock in the Warehouse is not exactly taken, I therefore beg it may be gone through again with the utmost care and an account sent me by the Hexham Carrier on Monday directed to the care of Mr Chrisr Bell in Hexham to lye til called for; but if it could be done so as that I get a Letter on Saturday Evening or sooner I would have the account sent to this place. Thomas Ions tells me there was a difference of four pieces between his Account of the Quantity sent and in a Keel the 3rd inst. and Mr Nicholsons Tickett; he reckons he sent four more than Mr Nicholson admits, if Mr Nicholson should be wrong in this, our account of delivery and the Ticketts will agree exactly.

The Stock in the Warehouse the 7th to make both you and us right shd be 2382
