Mr Isaac Hunter Dukesfield                                                      Newcastle  17th Octr 1796



Sir!	As I have made a considerable Sale of Lead (tho’ at a reduced Price) I could wish that Lead at the Mill as well as that on the Road (particularly the Refin’d) may be sent down to Blaydon as soon as possible, before the Roads break up; & you must proceed briskly with the Refining as that Lead is most wanted & there is a Demand for Silver which is a ready Money Article.  I have seen with some surprize an Advertisement of all the Stock, and Crop of Hay & Corn etc for Sale at the two Dukefields, I desire to have this matter explained to me as soon as possible; as I am sensible that it will occasion some alarm to Coll & Mrs Beaumont.

                                                                   I am etc   J.E.B

A two year community project, it was led by the Friends of the North Pennines in partnership with Hexhamshire and Slaley Parish Councils and the active support of Allendale Estates. It was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and the generous support of other sponsors. Friends of the North Pennines: Charity No:1137467
