Mr Beaumont April 29th 1822
I find in minute enquiry that the flood of 1771 was ten feet above the level of the rock on the north side ... I have looked over the damage Mr Harbottle's farm has sustained from the flood ... the soil of the Island containing about 20 acres below the Tyne Mills is entirely washed away and a bed of sand deposited ... Mr Harbottle makes his statement upwards of £260 but I shall think £200 a sufficient allowance … to be allowed at the Mayday rent day.
Sir! May 8th 1822
The Brown horse arrived safely and is now ready to turn out to grass ... I have sent by the days mail a pini and five cucumbers.

Your Letter of the 25th of last month addressed to Mr Wm Crawhall at Alenheads has been, by him transmitted to me, and to which I beg to reply. The proposal, on behalf of Col Beaumont, to take the Veins in White Walls ground, at a sixth duty, was made in reference to the situation of the ground itself, the uncertainty of the Strata in which the proposed Level will have to be driven, and the distance before a Vein may be cut; and

Went to Blagdon...to a ball and supper. The party consisted of above 200 persons. Most of the Gentlemen’s families in the two Counties and a good many of the Corporation (Aldermen ec.). The Barringtons, Ravensworth family, Lambton, Monk, the Swinburns, Brandlings, Beaumont ec. ec. And everything was conducted not only very handsomely but also very comfortably. I had a favorable opportunity of introducing my sons to a good many of my aristocratic friends, and had the satisfaction also t
I left Bradley (Mr. Beaumont’s) after breakfast. (It) is a handsome gentlemanly seat, pleasantly situated. Mr. Beaumont appears to be an amiable man, of liberal opinions, and considerable information. But he certainly does not appear to me to be a man of powerful mind, and his knowledge of metaphysics and Political Econony (of both of which he talks a good deal) is not very profound. He has been much in foreign countries and has been by no means an inattentive observer of their manners,
