I was sorry I could not leave the Inn on Monday for the purpose of seeing you with reference to the Subject of M^r Mortimores ² note. I left some Specimens of the iron Stone with Wilkins ³ for your inspection – M^r Mortimore & M^r Brotherhood wish to open one or two holes on Nash Hill for the purpose of Examination – I will accompany them and report to you the result.

Will you be good Enough to say how I shall remit you Money? – I can pay over £900.
