Sir
I received your letter of the 16th Inst the contents of which I communicated to Sir Edward Blackett who is not a little surprised to find that it has been represented to Mr H Errington that his Application for the Lease of Longage Colliery was not for the Convenience of his own Concern But for the purpose of excluding Mr Errington and accommodating Mr Tulip or some other person wh[ich] is void of truth. And I am much surprised to hear what you say respecting Mr Tu

Dear Brother
I yesterday received a letter from Mr Bell, a copy of which I enclose you for your consideration; as Mr H Errington & Mr Tulip know very well that you was desirous of having a lease of Longish Colliery mearly for your own convenience & that you had made application for that purpose, their interfering in the business is I think very unhandsom, & rather than you should succeed in obtaining a Lease Mr H Errington offers an advance of rent of £

My dear Sir
I have received a letter this morning here from Mr Bell wherein he mentions, that Mr John Donkin agent for Mr Henry Errington had called upon him on the 22d inst. I had bid him 200£ a year for the Collieries (St. John Lee & St Oswald) on behalf of his Master, which he desired I might be made acquainted with. As you had wrote to Mr Bell to know when the Leases expired, I thought best to send you what offer had been made him. We shall return home

On my arrival in town last night I found the Dra[f]t of the Stanhope Inclosure Bill, with a Note from Mr Castle, requesting that it may be returned within 10 days to a fortnight from that time at the most. _I looked into the draft last night enough to convince me that I should do Injury to your L[ordshi]p’s Interests if I perused it at present; as there are objections which I could not help making at present, & which would embarrass the business

My Lord,
I accept very thankfully your <Correction>. I have struck out the word ‘desired’ in the 4th page. In the use of the word Philosophy I have a reference to the benefit derived from that System of Philosophical Experiments which Lord Bacon originally suggested; & in that view it is the only word that will give my meaning. All the same I feel the force of your L[ordshi]p’s observ[atio]n. _ The word has been horribly abused. _ Cannot I prev

Some days before he had seen Mr Tweddell of Threepwood who is a Landowner in Weardale and who seemed highly offended in not having been more consulted (as he seemed it) as to the division; he also declared that he would in every shape and Stage of the Business oppose it _ He has in many Inst

I have considered a good deal about purchasing of the Land Tax, & should be glad to purchase mine both in Northumberland, & here. But I fear I shall find some difficulty in raising the money for there will be so much land brought into the Market that we shall not be able to find purchasers, could I raise the Money to buy stock, or could I get anyone to lend me some stock, I would immediately buy my land Tax. I go up to Town on the 17th inst to the m
