Sir,
I subscribed at the Meeting for Mr Beaumont conditionally, that a draught of the Bill be laid before Mr Hopper Williams for his opinion of the Clauses as to the Ore Carriage &c, and in case he disapproved of them Mr Beaumont's subscription to be void for the Subscribers (from the increase of the Subscriptions as youll see below) were very shy as to the proposed Clauses, & maid several objections; on consulti

I have been considering all Night about the purchase of Barugh Estate, and should really like much to have it, as if the Navigation goes on I think it will pay very well, and tho’ at present we have not the Cash by us, we know we have it coming in, and we must pray for a good Lead Trade – and what we shall want at Kexbro’ will not come to so much more, and Haigh very likely will not be sold immediately – but should the whole be sold at once, the

Dear Sir,
I wrote a hurried Letter to you yesterday thinking the Communication I had with Mr. Cooke was of some moment for you to know as soon as possible.
