To Mr Isaac Hunter at Dukesfield 8 Mar [sic] 1755 Sir On making up the Mil accts I find there has been extream bad Management last year at them all, & the worst at Lintzgarth, where very near 5 Bings have been smelted for every fod[der] of Lead, & the slags notwithstanding lessened f[ro]m what they were at Xmas 1753. I desire on rec[eip]t hereof you will inquiore very exactly into the cause hereof, wch is a loss of many hundred pounds to S[i]r W[alte]r. Order all the Clarks imediately to make out an acct of wht produce they have made f[ro]m the Oar, after all the wastes are deducted between xmas 1753 & xmas 1754 & send me them in with your observations thereon, to lay before Sr W[alte]r when he comes home, wch will be in about three weeks; for I have his orders last post to have the same ready for his Inspection. You know it is your province to look into this affair with the greatest circumspection & I wonder you have not observd it before this. I am Sir etc JR
