J. E Blackett Esqr Dukesfield 17th Octob'r 1792
Sir,
I subscribed at the Meeting for Mr Beaumont conditionally, that a draught of the Bill be laid before Mr Hopper Williams for his opinion of the Clauses as to the Ore Carriage &c, and in case he disapproved of them Mr Beaumont's subscription to be void for the Subscribers (from the increase of the Subscriptions as youll see below) were very shy as to the proposed Clauses, & maid several objections; on consulti

Octr. 18th 1792 –
Dear Skelton,
I was this Morning favoured with yours – and with respect to the Navigation I should certainly wish it to come to Haigh Bridge and that should certainly be kept in view – I am glad you subscribed 800£ -, we entirely leave the subscription to the other to yourself, as you know we wish to put our Money out in the Most advantageous manner for our Family, that if you think both our subscribing will be for the best, we undoubtedly would do it, at an
Letter – Thomas Richard Beaumont to Mark Skelton – 19 Oct 1792
Octr. 19th 1792
Dear Skelton,
I have been considering all Night about the purchase of Barugh Estate, and should really like much to have it, as if the Navigation goes on I think it will pay very well, and tho’ at present we have not the Cash by us, we know we have it coming in, and we must pray for a good Lead Trade – and what we shall want at Kexbro’ will not come to so much more, and Haigh very likely will not be sold immediately – but should the whole be sold at once, the

Octr. 25th 1792
Dear Skelton,
We must certainly do our utmost endeavours to have the Navigation up to Haigh Bridge, they should most certainly let the Subscribers have a power of extending their subscriptions in the Calder, as they must not let them have too much power, the more get in the Calder the better – by the junction they will gain a great superiority – on all occasions of this Nature they all offer very fair, till they have got their own terms – but we must do the bes

Dear Sir,
I wrote a hurried Letter to you yesterday thinking the Communication I had with Mr. Cooke was of some moment for you to know as soon as possible. I have no doubt of his Veracity & am persuaded that if you do not think the Estate worth your acceptance @ 27000£ it will be sold to Mr. Hebdin for his Client at Leeds – the Coal of which there is more than 120 Acres becomes of an increased Value in consequence of the apparent near approach o

We have been for some Years in receipt if the rents of Mr Marsh’s estate at Barugh, but he never intimated to us any intention to dispose of it, which we think he would have done (rather than to any other person) had he been inclined to sell.

Dear Skelton,
I am favoured with yours, and shall be very glad to purchase any part of Haigh, as it is so very contiguous to Bretton I think it should not be missed by any means – I have not got the list of Moneys out, but any that you think most proper, will be exactly the same to us – I am sorry Wentworth goes on still in the same way, I am greatly afraid there is no hopes of amendment. Yesterday I sent down an advertisement sent me from Lincolnshire about a B
