Nichs. Ruddock Esqr.							Newcastle 13th Jan.y 1800

Hexham



Sir

I received a letter from Coln. Beaumont enclosing one from you which he desired me to answer.   The Notice given to you to quit the Possession of the Limestone Quarry on Keenly Leases certainly was at my Instance, being informed that it would be for the Interest of Colonel Beaumont to take them into his own Hands, for the Benefit of his Works at Dukesfield &c. Had this not been the Case, you certainly would have been continued Tenant.  I am &c. J.E.B.
