Dear Sir Since I wrote to you I have been favoured with your letter of the 24th inst with two Bills; the Post Office & the Bakers Bill; I cannot form a judgement as to the necessity etc of the former, The Bakers (as I mentioned in a former letter) I am confident will not answer the purpose, & nothing short of a compulsatory law will have the desired ef

Dear Sir I refer you to my letters by the last post with the Power of Attorney _ Messrs Surtees & Burdon are perfectly satisfied with your joining with them in the Security (in case of a seisure being made) without your giving them a Bond of Indemnity, of which I have acquainted Mr Heron _ Mr Wilson is certainly mistaken as to the inexpedency of having the Lead sold removed out of your Pre

Dear Sir
Since I wrote to you the 29th ulto Mr Carr of Allenh[ea]ds & Mr Richardson of Ninebanks have been with me & after having heard the Complaints of the latter & what Mr Carr had to say on the subject, I am of opinion that Mr Richardson has no real cause of complaint; that he can have no claim to the Dues for that part o

Dear Sir
I have the Pleasure to acquaint you that I have this day made a Sale to the several London Houses & Walkers & Fishwick of 12,500 p[iece]s of Lead, (two thirds Com[m]on, & one third Refined) at £20 per Foth[e]r to be paid for in Bills due in 6 Months, this is certainly a very good Sale, & will settle the price so that it w
Letter – Thomas Richard Beaumont to Mark Skelton – 12 Jan 1796
Dear Skelton,
I should rather think that at this time Land would sell very badly, but if upon enquiry we could have a good price, it would certainly be better to sell Cleckheaton, than to be at any great expense in making Fences. Oliver will certainly want Land near his House and as James Greenwood until that <field> near <Crows> House I should think Oliver has a prior claim to Mrs. <Heron>, but if he don’t want it I have no objections to her having it. I will converse with

Sir/
In reply to the Letter with which you favd. Me; I should be far from wishing to induce Col. Beaumont to sell his Heaton Estate by fixing some Very high Price: And indeed I think it quite out of Character for me to fix any price at all.
If it is his intention to sell it and you are impowerd to treat and will fix a price of Course I shall be willing to give the real Intrinsic Value taking all the Circumstances together, and this is all you can wish:
Letter – Thomas Richard Beaumont to Mark Skelton – 19 Jan 1796
Jany. 19th 1796
Dear Skelton,
I should have answered your letters sooner but as Mrs. Beaumont begged leave to produce the Young Lady in such a hurry, I had a number of letters to write, with respect to the disposing of the Estate at Cleckheaton, I should not imagine this to be a good time, for when any commodity of Life is so very dear and Money, or at least in town, is very scarce land would not fetch its value, You most certainly must be a better Judge in this matter than myself w

I wrote to you the 4th & 12th inst to which I have not rec[eive]d any Answer & as I shall be at Hexham on the 8th Feby to meet the Lead Stewards, it will be necessary that I should know what resolution you come to respecting Mr Carr etc. I hope that you & Mrs Beaumont were pleased with the late Sale of Lead; Lord Carlisle’s

I am now favourd with yours 26th and beg to inform you that comparing what I have heard of the Heaton Estate with the price you fixed I am induced to give up all thoughts of it, should you sell in Lots I may purchase one or two if there appears a probability of their paying a fair Interest, anytime when you or Mr F: comes over your giving a Call will Oblige.

Sir,
In reply to the Letter you Favour me with I have no difficulty in describing to you my Ideas & chain of reasoning of the Value of Col: Beaumonts Heaton Estate: if it can be of the Least use to you, tho I must conclude you know much better than me. _
From every thing I can Learn the Land is run out, the Buildings ruinous, and the Tenants poor; now whoever hath this Estate their Business is to remedy all there. The way I presume to do this is to c

Dear Sir
I was favoured with your letter of the 1st Inst: & observe what you say as to the Subscription now on foot for a Canal; I have had some conversation with Mr Heron & some others on the subject & I believe there is no doubt of Sir M.W. Ridley having mistaken that matter, for the Subscriber certainly will not be liable for an

Sir
It is expected the proposed Canal from Sea to Sea will be very productive of Profits to the Adventurers when finished. This Business I am sorry to say is rather got into Party – It was intended at first to bring the Line of Canal up the South Side of the River and so to Hexham by Mr. <Dods> who first started the Idea of a Canal from the East to the West Sea but Mr. Chapman who is a native of England but has been in Ireland constructing a cana

I met the Lead Stewards at Hexham on Monday & paid them £4480 for Subsistance for the Workmen, who are at present quiet, & well satisfied with the increased Subsistance, & the weekly supply of Corn; There is little alteration in the State of the Mines; for these six Months past they have been poorer, but I hope they are in

Sir I Have been from home for some days which is the cause of your not having an Answer to your letter of the 6th Inst: I observe what you say respecting the Prices of Rye & Barley which I think very high, the former above this Markett at present; on which account I shall decline making any Purchase at this time having a sufficient quantity for the Miners
Letter – Richard Jackson to Thomas Richard Beaumont – 20 Feb 1796
Sir
I beg leave to inform you that the Children left at Britton Mill have been advis’d to give up their situations, from an Idea, that from their Youth and consequent inexperience, they could not manage so great a concern - The Mill has been offer’d to one Joseph <Kay> a Man 70 Years of Age formerly tenant to Sir Thos. Blackett but lost his situation for suffering his Mill to go to ruin for want of repairs.
The Children are very desirous to stay at their old home, which

Dear Sir
By a Lre that I received the last Post from Mr Beaumt he approves of the Purchase of the Estate, Mill etc which he desires may be confirmed; he likewise desires that £5000 may be subscribed in his Name to the Canal on the North side of the Tyne, as that line of Navigation is generally approved of; you will therefore please to Subscribe that sum in your Subscription Book.

23d. 1796
Dear Skelton,
I suppose before this time the Rent Day is over and that every thing was conducted with satisfaction to all. Enclosed I send you a letter I this morning received from Mr. Jackson, I do not see how any person can undertake what he says, to allow the Girls 30£ a Year over & above the Rent, and when they come of Age to resign the possession – the letter is wrote in a pedantic style and without giving in any Name - do make some enquiry about this Matter,
