In Operation ending 26th February you have at yr first Title - 

Ore brought in - should be Ore Smelted.

      

      I do not propose coming to any determination as to the price of Carriage for Ore this Season til I come to the Mill, and therefore desire you will set it down among the rest of the Memorandums of Business to be talked over when I come there.

      We have reason to rejoice at having so secure a place as the Iron Chest for our Silver Prices, and the Circumstance you mention proves how clearly it was necessary to have a place of Safety for those valuable Productions.
