24 Nov 1754

Dr Sr

Mr Beaumont was with me yesterday, & says Mr John Richardson wrote to his Agent last post, to appear to the motion, in order to get Proceedings stopd till next Term, within wch time he hopes matters may be compromisd. I askd him if he would make any Proposal towards a Accomodation, & I would acquaint the Parties therewith, he seemd afraid to mention any sum, & said when I was authorisd to treat with him he would then tell me what he would do, he talkd of paying the money that should be agreed on at annual Payments, but I told him I did not think that would be acceptable, & from the whole Conversation that passed between us, I have Reason to think that he would be willing to pay half the £900 down, provided he could have a Release, & the wayleave Leases given up. So you may communicate this to the Parties, if you think it proper, for their Consideration.

I am etc JR
