My dear Sir,

I have the favour of yours and we are much obliged to you for the use of Mrs Collingwood’s House. I hope that it is not on our Account she is so obliging as to give up her staying over the Races, we purpose being at Edinburgh tomorrow and shall stay Saturday and go to Admiral Rodhams on Monday, & will thank you to desire mrs Collingwood’s maid to have the Beds ready for us on Tuesday evening. We left Lord Adam Gordons this morning where we arrived on Tuesday Evening, we passed a very pleasant day with him and he has a most beautiful place, and an excellent House, we found Lord <Luign/Luyn> his Son Mr <Meluke> & Colonel Imrie, his Lordhsip made many kind enquiries as did also Colonel Imrie after You & the Family, we should have stayed on another day but Morpeth Races are fixed two days earlier than were mentioned to me. I am very sorry for the loss of poor Straker, I did not think him so near his end. I will be much obliged to you to tell young Crawhall to send my letters to Morpeth. I hope we shall have the pleasure of seeing you during the Races. Mrs Beaumont unites with me in respects to yourself & Mrs Collingwood.

I am My dear Sir Most sincerely yours

Tho. Rd. Beaumont
