Letter – Thomas Richard Beaumont to Mark Skelton – 23 Apr 1796
April 23rd 1796
Sir,
I do not see anything objectionable in Mr. Swallows proposals. The granting a Lease, you say for 60 Years, in the proposals it says 63 Years for the Land, would make it necessary for an exchange of Land, as the Close is in the marriage Settlements, there being only one Close, and by Mrs. Beaumont’s signing her Consent to the Agreement, she being in Case of my Death so amply provided for, should Imagine would sufficiently satisfy the Trustees of the Settl

Halifax 30th April 1796
Sir,
There seems a probability that if the Haigh Bridge and Horbury Pasture Canal was now brought forwards it would meet with the support of the Merchts at Manchester, Rochdale and this place. This you’ll observe is given as My own Opinion – I have mentioned it to Mr Walker Certainly nothing can be done without Mr Beaumont being first Waited upon and consulted about it. I trouble you therefore with this to ask when He is expected at Britain and should be glad at t

Sir,
Your letter was sent me here, I have no objections to Mr. Easdale having the four Acres of Land allotted me as that is no object. There does not appear to me any person that is willing to undertake the School at Darton under the Terms the Trustees want. Mr. Pickles must have the entire approbation of all the trustees before he can be appointed, and a meeting of them should be had to know whether they approve of him. I am sure it is my wish that the School should
