Sir Your Favor of the 26th inst came to my hands this day.

Scarbro’ – July 20th 97.
My dear Sir,
Enclosed is a letter I have this Morning received from Mr. Bell, he seems to think they estimate the Lead Mill at Allendale too much. I will thank you to enquire into this matter as it appears from this letter that it will make a very material difference to me in respect of the poor Rates – and I don’t see we should pay any more than Greenwich Hospital. As I shall not be down at the time of the Moor Game Shooting, I shall send my Keeper u

Unthank near Haltwhistle
Dear Sir I am informed by Mr Bell of Hexham that endeavours have been used to set aside the Poor Rate for the Parish of Allendale & rating the Lead Mill & their Profits arising therefrom at the very enormous sum of £3000 per Annum which certainly is out of all kind of reason; In some years the Lead Mills have scarce yielded any Profit, &

My dear Sir,
I have the Favor of Yours this Morning; it was my Intention to have been at the Assizes, and to have come to Newcastle in time to attend the Dinner on the Saturday, but from the Circumstances I mentioned to You it will be impossible, I will therefore thank You to make my Apologies to the High Sherriff & Gentlemen, if you think it necessary.

My dear Sir,
We purpose leaving this place tomorrow Morning for Bretton. I should hope that the miners that are at present in Possession of Harehope Gill Mine in Weardale are not allowed to continue working, for as the right is not settled and perhaps may be some time before it can be, they will be getting as much Ore as will pay their Costs, and they will claim all the Ore that will be got, when the decision is known. Enclosed is a letter from Sir H. Wilson about th

Sir
Being desir’d by Mr. Blacket to give you some information respecting the Alterations at Hexham Abbey – I wrote to you from Durham the day after, but am afraid my Letter had not been put into the Office there as you did not mention the rec[eip]t of it in your last to Mr. Blacket. My Fathers to you was sent from Hexham (without my knowledge) prior to the time that Mr. B. mentioned your Wish. I have not a doubt but you would find some errors in it b

My dear Sir,
I have the Favor of yours and am much obliged to You for making my apologies for not being able to be at the Abbey to give the Bishop the meeting. If you think it absolutely necessary to have a House for to keep our Papers &c in, the smaller the better as we don’t want either a spare Room or bed as we never make use of either. I should not wish to take any one for more than seven Years I would rather have one for five. I will be much obliged to You to

My dear Sir,
Enclosed is a letter this Morning from Mr. Newton, I wanted to know the difference of the Expense betwixt making the entrance at the West front, and that of raising the old Archway, as I should imagine there will be something very considerable – I am very sorry that nothing can be done to hinder the Lessees from working the Mines, as unquestionably we shall be very great Losers. If you will write to Sir H. Wilson as you always pay the interest from Newcas
Letter – Thomas Emerson to John Erasmus Blackett – 12 Aug 1797
Sir,
I received the inclosed from the men who are working the freehold part of Dryburn lead mine, and as they are only ab[ou]t 70 fathoms from where the vein comes into the copyhold they are wanting a bargain from thence to the top of the Fell, But I expect you'll not think much of their proposals because it would be quite a new precedent both as to Length of ground (which may be nearly a mile) and that of haveing the ore to dispose of for paying Colonel Beaumont 12s per Bing.
