My dear Sir,

I have the Favor of yours this morning, and most sincerely do I hope that public confidence may again be restored in the County. I saw Mr J. <Surtees> yesterday in the park & was sorry to find he had not been able to succeed in procuring a sufficientcy of <paper>. Makepeace has entirely finished all our plate, and says that the last Cake of Silver that was sent him has over paid his Bill, therefore unless you send him Silver on any other Account, You need not send him any more. I will get his Bill & send it to You. Pray what credit do you give to Mr Brown for Silver. I see by the papers that Silver is raised in value. I hope that the Banks will go on paying very soon & that the pays will be made this Week - in haste -

Most Sincerely Yours

Tho. Rd. Beaumont
