To Mr Thos. Maughan at Newhouse

31 July 1758

Sr.

I have acquainted Sir Wr. with w[ha]t Mr Bacon's Agents propose with regard to New Meadowheads & he is agreable to come into w[ha]t measures Mr Harrison & you think reasonable for him to do, & doubts not but you will consider the affair thoroughly wth regard to Mr Bacons being at a fourth charge in driving the two levels. I do not imagine there is any probability of cutting any new vein in driving them up to the intersection of Great Slitt & New Meadowheads.  PS. You know th[a]t if any new vein is discovered in driving a level of wch they bear part of the charege they will claim the same as p[ar]tners[hi]p unless sufficiently guarded ag[ain]st. Therefore it sho[ul]d be added, That if any such cross vein be cut Mr Bacon is to have no part thereof.    I am etc   JR
