I do not think any part of Broomley Fell can be planted this year to advantage as the snow is still upon it and the season is far advanced ... I am glad our markets are considerably better but unfortunately for most of the tenants they have marketed the greatest part of their corn of last years growth but it will nevertheless be the means of inducing them to continue their improvements in draining in expectation of the next being a better year.

The colliery at Kirkheaton was retained by Col Beaumont and is let to Mr Dixon ... I have reason to believe the present tenant is considerably in arrears. The colliery has been very much neglected and might in proper hands have worked twice the quantity of coals. Dixon spends the chief part of his time in the Ale house and I should suppose cannot long keep his head above water ... Excepting the breaking of the ice we have had no flood whatever this winter. The dam was

… enclosing an estimate and sketch of a stone bridge which you can compare with the one sent by Mr <....> I shall enclose with my accounts a letter I received from Mr Swinburne asking the loan of some <....> belonging to the Band of your Regiment. In my answer ... I said that you had declined a similar application last year as you wished the Band to meet and practice regularly.

Mr Beaumont (undated)
… the total estate of erecting such a bridge I estimate to be £4591. If it is made a Tole Bridge and you should consider to have it erected by shareholders I think there is little doubt but the money might be raised. Take 50 shares at £100 each as the number necessary to complete the Bridge and the approach to it and of these shares if you and Col Beaumont would each take five I do think the remainder might be made up.

In reply to your Letter of the 13 Inst. which I had the Honor of receiving this morning, I beg to inform you that the price of WBlackett Lead is for Refined £24-10 Sterling pfo[the]r and for Common £23b-10 pfo[the]r. The Stock of Lead in this market is very low, by reason of its being nearly all sold to the various Lead Merchants and which prevents me making any offer exceeding one thousand, or fifteen hundred pieces upon

As the season for grouse shooting is so near I shall thank you to inform me if you wish the same Gamewatchers to be employed in Allendale as last year. If any poachers are taken do you wish their guns to be taken from them and their dogs destroyed. This had a very good effect last season. The young dogs which Simpson hunts in the spring will require running on the moors they are far from being ready ... I shall thank you to inform me when you would wish the house

Mr Kyle has been to look at the situation of the intended bridge but the river was too much swollen ... The gardener at Bradley has received a letter from one of your servants requesting a person may be got to assist Mary the Dairymaid to put the house in order and that you may be expected there in ten days or a fortnight. As I have received no intimation of your being so soon at Bradley I conceive there may be some mistake and shall wait your own instructions ...
