Letter – Thomas Richard Beaumont to John Erasmus Blackett – 5 Dec 1798

My dear Sir

Enclosed is a letter I have just received from Sir H Wilson Kt. I have given no Answer to it, but will thank you to do it, & give him such as it deserves.  I most certainly should wish to purchase my Land Tax & from the Calculations you have sent me, the sum you mention required is £1537. when I get up to Town I will purchase that sum into the 3 p Cents. at the same time I will thank you to write to Mr Bell to know what the amount would exactly come to. I have had the pleasure of seeing Mr Collingwood, who I think looks very well.  We purpose setting off early in the Morning.  Mrs Beaumont unites with me in best respects to Mrs Collingwood and Yourself.

I am My dear Sir

Most Sincerely Yours

Tho. Rd. Beaumont



Enclosed is Bill I will thank you to pay & the other is an Account of Wine sent to Hexham, which I shall be obliged to you to <let> Mr Crawhall inquire about.
