If its line mortar replace it with lime mortar otherwise you will have a foundation failure down the line. The lime mortar is a sacrificial material. If you use normal cement, moisture will instead pass through the rocks and eventually those will fail. Old houses are all about sacrificing materials to maintain the bones of the house.
