Thos Key Esq   London						May 27th 1833



      After a long delay I shipped on Saturday last 300 frs of the common Lead which I have been so anxious for you to report upon I expect you will find it particularly soft and pliable and shall be glad to hear the results as soon as you have tried it.

      I expect to send you 300 frs more next week. I cannot make the transfer of the 600 frs slag to Messrs Walkers & Co they having none purchased of us. I shall be glad to receive your orders for Litharge, which we continue to sell at £14.10 altho[ugh]’ the price of Lead is £13-10 & £14
