Mr Beaumont July 15th 1823
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 ...

Aldstone Moor, 29th July, 1823
On inspection of the several roads to which my attention was directed by you, I find them in a most deplorable state, both as regards the lines and the surface.
The same may be observed of all the roads in this part of the country, the want of management being apparent throughout. The lines of road have been so improperly carried, that in many places the rise is one in seven, and in several parts one in five. With respect to the construction of the r

To the Right Honourable Earl Grey.
Bradley, August 29 1823
Dear Lord Grey,
I cannot prevent this letter appearing to you very extraordinary, but its necessity has been brought on by Lady Swinburne’s conduct.
Almost immediately after her daughter’s acceptance of my proposals, in which she and Sir John seemed cordially to concur, I was struck by the unkindness of Lady Swinburne to me, and the continual endeavours she was making
