Dear Sir,

      It has been intimated to me that many of the Proprietors of Lands in Weardale are desirous of an inclosure. The idea meets with my fullest approbation from a conviction that the greatest benefits will result from the carrying it into execution both to the individuals concerned, & to the county at large from bringing into cultivation such an extent of unproductive soil. I should hope that it will appear to you & Mrs Beaumont in the same light. If it does, you will have the goodness to signify to me your consent to the division as a general measure; not binding you to any specific terms, which may be adjusted in the prosecution of the business.

      Mrs Barrington's best comp[liment]s accompany mine to Mrs Beaumont & yourself.

I am Dear Sir, with much regard, your faithful servant

      S Dunelm
