Addressed to Col Beaumont Bretton
Finding that the Stage coach from Newcastle to Leeds does not travel on a Sunday I do not think it necessary to adopt a more expensive mode of Conveyance as a Letter may answer the purpose of my journey nearly as well. My chief motive of personally waiting upon you was, as the Bishop goes to London previous to the 6th of November and at farthest in ten days, to expedite those measures which may be de

In reply to your letter addressed to Mr <Morrison> of 24 Inst requesting Copies of JEBs letters to Mr Bearn of the 13th 15th & 18th May 1802. On consulting the letter Book I do not find any of the date 13th May 1802 (which I consider as error) those of the 15th& 18th I send you enclosed, they are exact copies as entered in the Book here & do not seem of much information in the Cause.
