Gentn Mr Blackett received your letter of Yesterday the Contents of which rather surprises him as he is well convinced that the Lead he sold you on the 3d Octr last was to be paid for in Bills due at the end of Six Months from the time of Sale, and if you had referred to his letter of that date you could have had no doubt on the subject, a Copy of

Dear Sir
I had the favour of your Letter of the 28th Ulto & am sorry that I cannot give you a better account of Mr Emerson, he has been worse since Doctor Clarke left him, the systems continue alarming. & I fear there is little hopes of his recovery he is a very Able, honest Agent, & will be a great loss to the concern.

Dear Sir
Your Lead Stewards have been with me this day & have received £3150 for Subsistance for the Workmen, who are all quiet & well satisfied, notwithstanding the endeavours of a few troublesome bad People to make them otherwise; The Mines are much in the same state, except Allenheads, which I hope is improving. Docter Clarke is gone again

April 11th 1796
Dear Skelton,
I have sent you Mr. Baily’s nomination. You have sent me part of the proposals of Mr Swallow but not the whole, as there were some remarks made on some of the Clauses which I objected to. As to getting the Ironstone by the <heart Eye> method I have no objections to, and if they are obliged to pursue the old way & he will pay for the Land it is just the same thing. I did not understand I was to lay out 500£, I thought he was to pay all

Sir,
Since my arrival in Town I have seen General Prescott, who is within a few days of his departure for his appointment as Governor of Quebec, & as I understood from my Clerk who just before I left Yorkshire for the South, waited upon you upon another Matter of Business, that you had something to say or do, respecting the General’s affair between him & Mr. Beaumont, but that then you had not time for it. If therefore there is anything <essential> to his Int[eres]t that you th

Sir,
Yours of the 23rd. of last month came to hand the 28. Your Miners here is content to keep to their work till you can leave your Parliamentary Business, but have had several meetings to draw up a Petition by a committee of 24. I do not hear they have yet begun to sign it.

Letter – Thomas Richard Beaumont to Mark Skelton – 21 Apr 1796
Dear Skelton,
The Affair of Stackpooles is settled, and She is to have the Annuity for her Life, & not the 10,000£. The particulars Mr. Wilson will send you tomorrow. I must confess it has not terminated in the manner I supposed, for the decision has been from the Will not being properly worded, that is, you should, as you say you knew it was the intention not to make a forfeiture left out the Clause, or have inserted it more fully, and the next by your advice we paid her the Annuity whic
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

I have been very Politely & duly Honoured with yours, by saying you certainly would obliged me in favour of my Tenant, had it nor been on account of displacing your own.

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
