Letter – Benjamin Johnson to Thomas Wentworth Beaumont – 19 Oct 1824
Mr Beaumont Oct 19th 1824
The wine may be <....> immediately if you think proper but I think it would be better to delay it until Spring as I shall be obliged to leave the house this winter to enable the workmen to get on with the alterations inside. There is at present a house at Corbridge to let and I shall thank you to inform me ... if you would wish me to engage it and remove my family from Newbiggin to it as the seaside is dreadfully cold at this season.
Letter – James Losh to Henry Brougham – 27 Oct 1824
Alnwick Oct 27, 1824
My dear Brougham,
Your letter reached me at the moment when I was setting out for this place. I however sent immediately about your parcel and I now learn from my clerk that it was forwarded last Friday and so I trust that it reached you safe and sound.
I can only repeat that I am much obliged to Lord Rosslyn for his kind attention, which, I have no doubt, contributed mainly to Baldwin's success. Pray be so good as to tell him so or
Letter – Benjamin Johnson to Thomas Wentworth Beaumont – 2 Nov 1824
Mr B. Nov 2 1824
In answer to your letter ... there is not any cottage on the south side of the river in which the gamekeeper you purpose sending could be placed ... If Thos Strutt was to remove back to Broomley two rooms may be found in the village until a house is built. Is it your intention to let Thos Strutt continue to take charge of the dogs and retain the deputation or to place them under the care of the new gamekeeper. I fear Thos Strutts disposition will often cause dissention betw

Mr Beaumont Nov 17th 1824
I am sorry I am not likely to see you here before next Easter as it appears (if current reports are to be believed) that there is a strong party forming to oppose you at the next election but I cannot find that any individual has positively come forward to offer himself. I think it necessary to make one observation, that in several instances lately I have heard it stated by some who I am convinced are your friends that they think you must be indifferent about it or

Letter – Benjamin Johnson to Diana Beaumont – 1 Dec 1824
Mrs B. Dec 1824
I have to thank you for your very polite attention and handsome present of the P. Forte at Hexham Abbey. I did myself the honor to call upon you last week but you were from home; otherwise I should have had the opportunity of more particularly inpressing the obligation you placed me under.
Letter – Benjamin Johnson – 15 Dec 1824
(unheaded)
I did not receive your note until today at home consequently some time after I had sent the cart to bring away the Piano Forte. I feel sorry I was not sooner made acquainted that the instrument was in use as I should have had great pleasure in accommodating Mrs <....> with the loan of it or indeed any friend of Mr Lees for a short period. The instrument was Mrs Beaumonts but a short time ago I applied to purchase it when she very politely made me a present of it. Had Mrs <

Letter – Benjamin Johnson to Thomas Wentworth Beaumont – 28 Dec 1824
Mr B. Dec 28th 1824
We had a tremendous flood here on Christmas day which has done much damage to the lands bordering the river. Mr Harbottle on his farm has suffered to a considerable extent. The water still covers a considerable part of the flat land below the house ... The water was upon the lawn here but I prevented it getting to the house by making a small embankment to the west.

Madam,
When I wrote to you last on the subject of Messrs. Claytons letter, I wrote to you in haste & to save that days Post that you might have the earliest account of what was going on. I omitted to mention that in all the searches I have had occasion to make in my time I never met with any presentment of the nature of that for which Messrs. Clayton propose to search and I never heard my late

Diary – James Losh – 23 Jan 1825
I dined and staid all night at Bradley with Mr. Beaumont (his brother Edwd. was with him). My opinion of Mr. Beaumont is unchanged. Had he been a person of moderate fortune and properly educated, he would have been an amiable and accomplished man, whereas now he is evidently (tho’ not without some good qualities), the mere slave of his passions and his habits. Mr. Ed. Beaumont is sickly and feeble looking but seems to be a pleasing young man.

Mr Bird March 30th 1825
I should have been most happy to have seen you and Mr Wm Beaumont to have taken up your quarters with me but at present we are all in confusion from workmen in the house. The female servants however are all at Bradley and the house then in order to receive Mr G B and his bride. I fear Mr Wm will find fishing a cold amusement and the woodcock I should suppose are all gone.
Letter – Benjamin Johnson to Christopher Bird – 2 May 1825
Mr Bird May 2nd 1825
Thomas Strutt has requested me to write to you to say he will be glad to accept your offer to go to Gummerston and take charge of the wood fences and game but should you since have altered your determination as to the appointment … he will feel much obliged to you to take a house for him in the neighbourhood of <Hoyland>. Mr Beaumont has not taken any further notice as to his leaving, nor has any new gamekeeper arrived. I have received a letter from Mr B indeed h
