My dear Sir,

In a letter from Mr Bell today he informs me of the Death of Mr Bushby in Confidence, I ask You whether You think the Brother of <Kit> Blackett, Mr Fleming of Houghton Le Spring, who keeps a School would be a proper person to succeed to the Curacy. He being well qualified as a Schoolmaster for to Serve the purpose, & I should hope the Trustees for the School would have no objection in case such Appointment should take place to give up the School to him he having had a very good one before, & they having so much complained of being ill served. None of the Party being apprised nor any application being made to me of my thoughts on the matter no disappointment can arise, but do You think that Mr Fleming would give up his School for the chance of Hexham. Enclosed I send You a letter from Mr Tweedale which I will thank You to answer as soon as possible, I am now in the Committee Room & Mr Pitt is up on this Grand Question.

I am My dear Sir Most Sincerely Yours

Tho. Rd. Beaumont
