The Revd. H Hardinge						Newcastle January 14th 1800

Stanhope Weardale



Sir

      It is Col Beaumont’s Intention to purchase the Landtax pd. for the several LeadMines &c. In Weardale, and on his acquainting the Lord Bishop of Durham with such intention, he resigned to Col Beaumont his right of purchasing the Land tax paid for the Lott Ore &c. And I have no doubt but you will be pleased to do the same in respect to the £3.10. yearly for the Tythe Ore of Weardale mines

      I am Sir &c. JEB
