Letter – Thomas Richard Beaumont to John Erasmus Blackett – 29 Dec 1797

My dear Sir,

I have the Favor of Yours this Morning, and with respect to Mr. Herons Bill, I thought everything that had been done would have been settled previous to Sir Thomas Blackett’s Death, and as to anything that has occurred since, I concluded would have been settled by You, as to Mr. Wilson having been paid by me 200 Guineas, I can’t at this moment say how much he has received as I have not the Bankers account by me, but he has been employed as a professional Man & has paid for the writs of the Elections, that all his Bills might perhaps have amounted to that Sum but as any <gift> for that purpose solely he never has had that Sum, by reference to the Bankers Book. You will certainly see that I should wish Mr. Herons account to be settled as it is of too long a standing – I am happy to say Mrs. Beaumont & the Children are all very well. She unites with me in best respects with the Compliments of the Season.

I am My dear Sir

Most sincerely Yours

Tho. Rd. Beaumont.
