We have received the pleasure of your letter of the 10th & observe the sums you have ordered to be paid into our hands on account of Thos. Richd. Beaumont Esqr. of the receipt of which we shall have the pleasure to acquaint him. We conceive it would be better that those sums already in London should be paid to our house than into the bank of Messrs. Surtees Burdon & Co. at Newcastle. We beg you to accept our best Compliments & have the honor to

Dear Sir,
I was favoured with yours, and shall be glad to have a State of the Account when you have made the transfer – I don’t perfectly understand what is meant by your having wrote for 10,000£ more to be paid into my Bankers hands, as I understood that all or most of the Balance of the Lead Account which you gave to me, would be wanted for the Approaching Pays. Mrs Beaumont unites with me in Compts.

Sir Mr Blackett desires me to inform to inform you that he will give you 8 Years Rent for a Renewal of the Lease of Redburn, according to the present Rent which is £40 per Ann[um] & which is not capable of being Let for more at this time, as the smoke of Rookhope Mill has corroded & quite eaten off the Swarth on a part of it.

Sir I was yesterday favour with your letter, the contents of which I communicated to Mr Blackett, who is still of opinion that the Fine you fix is very high, but as you seem determined not to make any abatement, he must be under the necessity of complying with your demand, tho’ from the Account we have of Mr Robson’s relations here, we cannot think so bad a Life as you apprehend him to be

In my opinion a Division of the Commons in Hexhamshire and the Allandales, as it is only to be in part, can never injure the carriage of Ore and Lead from the Leadmines, as that part to be enclosed will be very improveable and enable the Carriers to keep a greater Stock of Galloways in a very few years, the remaining part by making it a Stinted Common, will give every Farmer a proportionable Share, so that a poor man that has not a sufficient quant
