Title
Letter (and draft) from John Wagstaffe, Winster to George Norman - ‘Mr Wass is working at Stanton and has a very rich mine - they are raising 120 loads or over 30 tons of lead ore a week - I do not know what the price will be but at 40s per load of 9 dishes, I have reckoned up the different amounts of royalties - metals have gone up very nicely - lead has risen from £13 to £17 a ton’. 17 Dec
