My dear Sir

I have the favor of yours this morning, and the Bishop of Durham called upon me to say he will write this Post to Mr Pearson, saying that he should wish you Mr Heron himself & Mr Moffat should have a meeting and consider what would be the proper steps to be taken & the claims to be made previous to a general one being called. I think that a number of people will claim the Right of Freehold without having any first claim, & when your consulting together you might be able to form some opinion whether it would answer to have an Inclosure proposed to the Public. at any rate, I think in the present state of affairs this would not be the time to agitate the Business. You will please to arrange with Mrs Ebdon.  Mrs Beaumont & the Children are all very well, she writes with me in best respects.

I am My dear Sir, Most sincerely Yours

Tho. Rd. Beaumont
