My dear Sir,

Mrs. Beaumont was favoured with Your Letter, I can’t conceive that Mr. Newton can claim in any degree that an Agreement was entered into, he produced a paper of Calculations but they did not in any degree tend to make any binding contract. I think You are perfectly right in discharging Mr. Newtons people both in Newcastle & Hexham, that things may be brought to some issue with him. Both Mr. Cockshutt & Mr. Cotton are alive & very well & the Will was proved at Yorke. No mention was made at all of Mr. Newtons having any of the materials to me, they appear to want to claim a contract – What is said about the <Assessed> Taxes here they don’t go down? I am happy to say that Mrs. Beaumont and the Children are all very well. She begs to unite with me in best Respects to Mrs. Collingwood and Yourself.

I am My dear Sir

Yours most sincerely

Tho. Rd. Beaumont.
