Hon. Sir

You receive herewith inclosed a Copy of the paper you left with Mr Wilson. I have paid off John Malthouse got his Cloathe fitted for your new Servant Fran. Brunton & have sent him for London this day by the Waggon. he says he has had the smallpox. I have heard nothing further yet about Miss Rutters money. Here is no manner of demand for Lead at any price so that I have no prospect of either paying the mils or remitting Mr Lascelles Int[res]t  tho you have now above 16000 pieces of Lead at markett all paid for to the mines. Mr Ridley says Mrs Ridley is much indisposed & he does not think of setting out forwards till after Christmas  I hope this will find you very well & I am etc   JR
