My dear Sir,

We purpose leaving this place tomorrow Morning for Bretton. I should hope that the miners that are at present in Possession of Harehope Gill Mine in Weardale are not allowed to continue working, for as the right is not settled and perhaps may be some time before it can be, they will be getting as much Ore as will pay their Costs, and they will claim all the Ore that will be got, when the decision is known. Enclosed is a letter from Sir H. Wilson about the payment of the Interest of the Money upon Mr. Bosville’s Estate. I have sent you a letter I got this Morning from Mr. Newton in Answer to the one I sent You. he does not say within what they are now doing or what they have done, only that what has been done he approves of. I am happy to say the Bathing has had the desired effect. Mrs. Beaumont unites with me in Respects.

I am My dear Sir Most sincerely Yours

Tho. Rd. Beaumont.
