Mssrs Peter & Ja Mulcaster.            					Farnacres 30th May 1781



       We have reced Yours of the 28th May inclosing the Account of Lead delivered from Langley Lead Mill.  You are desired to include the Bills for Iron etc when you send the Pay Bill and as we find that John Elliot, Francis Carr, and Francis Robinson were short pd 4/s for Weighing Refined Lead the 29 June 1780, you must put in 24 fothers extraordinary in the Pay Bill you are now making out.  We think it right that the Wages for Labourage shd be lowered to 12d P day.  

       We are Your etc

       W a& T
