								Morpeth  June 30th 95.

Dear Sir,

I had intended giving Mrs. Beaumont the meeting at your House to day, but as we are so soon taking the Field it will be impossible. I met an elderly Gentleman that I did not know near Wheatly yesterday who accosted me, and told me there was a Navigation meeting to be held on Thursday next to finally settle respecting the canal to Hexham, it certainly would be more for my interest for it to go on the South Side of the Tyne than the North, but I think it a matter that so materially concerns me that even was it to go on the North Side it would be very advantageous to the lead carriage. You certainly must know in what manner it would affect me, & wish you would attend the meeting and let me know your Sentiments upon it, I understood from Mr. Straker that the Agents were to be down today for the Subsistence. I hope everything would be ready for them – 

I am Dear Sir Yours sincere hble Servt.

Tho. Rd. Beaumont.
