Mr Jona Airey

          

Dear Jonathan

      I send you as above an exact account of the Quantitys of Lead which we have now in hand unsold after delivery of the whole of Doctor Halls 3000L and 1200 RS&LS and there are only 1465 of that which is unsold now on the Road which I expect will all be at Newcastle in the Course of 14 Days or Three Weeks at farthest.   In a Month we shall begin delivering a fresh from the Mill and will be able to produce 1000 pieces per Month or better from that time til next June.  I do not think there is the least objection to letting Dr Hall know the Quantity we have unsold but as to speculation of produce from June to June that may as well be kept to yourself.  I wish the Doctor could be prevailed upon to take the Lead which he wants to compleat the Sales made to him which will as I reckon be 2400L and 200 RS, as room will be much wanted in the Warehouse.     I am

      Yours etc

PS. You see there is great room to proceed with the Sale.
