The Revd. Mr. Wilson					Newcastle 19th. April 1800

Wolsingham Durham



Sir

      I have not yet received and Answer to the Letter that I wrote Coln. Beaumt. respecting the Proposals that were made (through you) for a Lease of a Lead mine in the Parish of Wolsingham; I understood from those Proposals that Colonel Beaumont was to have a sixth Part of the whole Quantity of the Ore raised, but Mr. Crawhall informs me that from the Conversation he had with you, he found that was not the Case, but that you expected to draw your Tithe Ore previous to the 1/6 being taken, on which Conditions Mr. Beaumont will not grant any Lease; as the Treaty is at an end, you will be pleased to return the Plan.   

      I am &c. J.E.B.
