Bretton – 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 Newcastle and say if he will appoint some person to receive the interest you will pay it when due, I don’t know his Address. Young Mr. Silvertop has wrote to me as you said for leave to shoot, I could not well refuse him tho I saw it was to <save> his own Moors. Cap[tai]n Thomas I know and have no objections to his taking a couple of days diversion. Mr. Bosville and the Lees are here. If Sir J. Trevelyan & Miss Trevelyan are with You, I beg You will make our best Respects to them, & we should be exceedingly happy in the Honor of their Company if they could make it convenient to take us en route to the South – All here beg to unite in their best Respects to Yourself and Family – I am My dear Sir Most sincerely Yours Tho. Rd. Beaumont.
Newton’s letter is dated the 8th, so this one is assumed to have been written two days later, also giving time for Beaumont to have left Scarborough and arrived at Bretton
