Gentn

      With reference to your application for leave to work a vein of Lead Ore at Burnt Shield Haugh in the Manor of Hexham I am requested by Mr Sopwith to inform you that acting on behalf of Thos W. Beaumont Esqr. he declines making any arrangement at the present time but the subject will be open for reconsideration in the course of next year if you should then desire it.

	I am Gentn

      Your Obedient Servt

			<T.J.B.>



[struck out: ‘Mr Robt  Smith’]

The Burnt Shield Haugh Mining Company

      (Mr Robt Smith, Spring House, Slaley, Hexham)

The clerk who replied on Sopwith’s behalf is not named, but the initials appear to suggest it was Thomas H Bewick, who worked for Sopwith.
