To Richard Beaumont Esq. Fallodon Nov 1st 1823
Sir
I have just received a Note from your Brother with an Apology for his Conduct towards me and my family; that Apology Lady S and myself can only accept of in consideration of our entire conviction that the accusation was made when Mr Beaumont was labouring under mental delusion, it is therefore quite unnecessary to give you the trouble of coming to this place, as Mr B’s Conduct under these circumsta

Torquay Nov 5 1823
My Dear Lambton
As I learn Lady Grey wrote yesterday to London it is probable she told her of the unexpected visit we received the night before from Mr R[ichar]d Beaumont. He came with a letter from his Brother, of which the following is a copy.
My Lord. Being convinced upon calm reflection, that my conduct towards your Lordship has been unacceptable I do not hesitate to offer your Lordship an apology

Letter – Benjamin Johnson to Thomas Wentworth Beaumont – 17 Dec 1823
Mr Beaumont Dec 17th 1823
I have been prevented writing sooner supposing that you would visit Naples first and then proceed to Rome … I have given James Briggs directions to take your horses up and get them in condition to go to London about the 20th of January ... There is little passing in the county that is necessary for me to communicate. Hostility against yourself I hope is gradually subsiding and I trust before long something may occur to draw off their attention from that point.

The Right Honourable Earl Grey
Lyons, Jan. 4, 1824
My Lord,
By the conduct of most of the gentlemen whom I have met on the continent, though more particularly of the Whigs, towards me, as well as by general report, I have collected that it is intended, that upon my return to England I shall not be spoken to. Being conscious of having acted throughout this affair with the most pure intentions, - the strictest honour, - a

I am compelled by the situation in which I am placed, with whatever reluctance to declare to the World all that passed between Sir John and Lady Swinburne and myself from the time that your Sister accepted me. I am on the point of being excluded from the world & my sisters are to lose their protector, and I am to be overwhelmed with disgrace for having done that for which my conscience entirely acquits me, and which ci

Letter – Charles Grey to Robert Wilson – 15 Jan 1824
Gov. House/ Devonport. Jan 19 1824
My Dear Wilson
I received your letter this morning and return the enclosed copy of your letter to Lambton. I had already given him exactly the same opinion on both points, & it is extremely gratifying to me to find that we so completely agree. I have only in addition expressed my regret that we should have suffered <myself> to be drawn into a personal altercation with such a fellow.
I have an affair of the same kind on my hands with

Extract of a Letter from Earl Grey to Sir W. Gordon dated,
Govt House, Devonport, Jan 19. 1824
My dear Sir
This man seems determined to bring matters to an issue with me, and for the reasons I gave you in my last letter, viz. that his family deny his Insanity & that he is received into Society - I think the shortest and the best way will be to indulge him if he persists in what appears to be his present intuition. But I put myself into your

I this morning received from Wilson a copy of the Opinion he has given you on the affair of Pemburton & was much gratified in finding that that we so perfectly agreed, not that I had the slightest doubt upon my mind, but it was a great satisfaction to me to have the view I had taken of the case, so fully confirmed by a Man of approved honor & your sincere Mind.
