I am this day favored with your Letter of the 8 Inst requesting me to send you 1500 or £2000 towards the payment of an Estate which you have purchased for Col & Mrs Beaumont and inclosed you will receive a Bill for £1573-6-2 which I hope you will experience no difficulty in applying to that purpose I do not go to London sooner than the latter end of next month and if I can will take Bretton in my way
Diary – James Losh – 11 Mar 1824
Lord Grey’s letter is friendly and even confidential. He is evidently much pleased that I have been able to prevent Mr. Beaumont from pursuing his wild and vexatious measures and at the same (time) he wishes for my advice and assistance with respect to his son’s offering himself for the County when Mr. B. retires.
Letter – Benjamin Johnson to Thomas Wentworth Beaumont – 12 Mar 1824
March 12th 1824
I do not think it would be possible to fit up as many rooms at Bywell at a trifling expense as you would require for your whole establishment but I could with care by opening out a few windows get as many ready as you would need for yourself and two man servants. I should be able to occupy such part of the house as not to incommode yourself and by bringing up the Dairymaid from Bradley I should not require any of your female staff ... You would then be enabled to point out a

My Dear Lambton
I cannot help in the first place expressing our continued & <….ing> regret at having lost you & dear Louisa & are anxious to hear that your journey has been prosperously accomplished.

My Dear Ridley
I received your letter this morning. Where I can have no doubt of the existence of the very best intentions & feel so strong a sense of personal obligation for all the kindness I have experienced from you, it is extremely painful to me to express any difference of opinion with respect to the conduct that has been pursued; with a view to the vacancy w

Mr Beaumont March 6th 1824
…Three tenants have had but one return made them and having had a bad harvest last season will have a claim on your [struck out: generosity] consideration ... I most sincerely wish you could spend a few weeks here or at Bradley I am convinced nothing would add more to your interests in the county than passing a few weeks or even days in it.
Letter – Thomas Wentworth Beaumont to Charles Grey – 23 Mar 1824
Sir
In consideration of the favour you have expressed towards me, I think it right to give you information respecting my intention of coming forward again to represent the County, reports having been very generally in circulation of my wish to take the first opportunity of withdrawing myself from it altogether. I must first candidly state to you that about a fortnight ago this was my wish, & it was coupled with another, of leaving a Country where I have experienced so much afflicti
Letter – Benjamin Johnson to Thomas Wentworth Beaumont – 26 Mar 1824
Mr Beaumont (undated)
… pointed out to me as for the probable site of your new mansion. We are both of opinion that the present house may be converted at so much less expense ... and that the water may be effectually banked out. If you should be determined to erect a new house it would require many years before the necessary ground, and fluctuations could be got up.

I am favored with your Letter of the 29th Ult. this morning; & on the delivery of the last parcel of 3000 ps of Lead being completed, your Acc[oun]t Current shall be transmitted as desired. – Having to fulfill my engagements, upwards of 35,000 ps yet to deliver I do not apprehend much reduction in the price of Lead as likely to happen here, so extensively is the forthcoming supply anticipated. – Anxious however to culti
Letter – Benjamin Johnson to Thomas Wentworth Beaumont – 5 Apr 1824
Mr Beaumont April 5th 1824
James Briggs received a letter yesterday from Mr Tatton directing him to bring the bay mare and Gig <....> immediately up to London. I conceive Mr Tatton must have made some mistake as the horse could not arrive in London before the 15th, on which day you give the dinner to the officers of the Northumberland Militia at Hexham.

…
I enclose a copy of a letter which Grey of <Millfield> has sent me, from Beaumont, another proof of the imprudence of Mr Colbourne’s interference. It looks as if he would make some sport in the H of C after Easter. I <… like be ill met in the measures of mere serious annoyance> He has also written to a Mr. Smart, another friend of <wine>, to say that
Letter – Charles Grey to John Lambton – 6 Apr 1824
In a letter received by <Bell> this Monday from Eliza, she says ‘ all the family entered into a conspiracy against poor Mrs Beaumont and refused to go out with her unless she agreed on paper approving of all Mr Beaumont had done & was going to do. Lord Dudley (who told me of it) was called in as <umpire> between the parties. He encouraged Mrs B to <resist> & the young Ladies & the other <son> were obliged to make a kind of compromise with her.’ What

I am sorry to have to communicate to you the destruction of the farm building at Acomb yesterday by fire. By great exertion we saved the dwelling house and a cottage but the barn stables sheds and cowhouses were all destroyed. The fire originated from a spark of fire in removing some hot embers out of an oven falling in some dry straw which this communicated with the straw in the fold yard and instantly the whole in a blaze the wind blowi

I am favored with your Letter of the 21st Inst covering four Bills value £244-10-6 which Balances your Account for Lead to this period. – The difference of 5/pfo[the]r shall not on this occasion prevent us dealing, & therefore I accept your offer of £23-5-.. pfo[the]r for 2000ps Refined and £22.5… for 1000 ps Common Lead; but it will be more convenient to us if you can equalize the quantities by taking 1500 ps o

Under the impression that the Lead Company are working in the Copyhold Ground at Stanhope, I recommend that you lose no time in mentioning the circumstance to the Company Agents, also to Mr Rippon, and that you will exert yourself to obtain all the information possible from the old Inhabitants and Workmen, of the names of the situations described in the Surrender, so that the Boundarys may be as accurately defined as

I cannot learn that Sir J Swinburn or any of his friends have come forward in any shape to answer your speech and the received opinion is that it is unanswerable … Sir J S has lost much of his popularity before and seems now to have sunk so far in the estimation of every one (save those bound to him from self interest) that any thing he may attempt to thwart your virtue at a future election can only cause disappointment to himself and show him the estimation

The gent who has had care of my childrens education left last week and I am extremely anxious that they should be as short a time as possible without a tutor as I am convinced they will soon lose the little they have learnt. Mr Beaumont the gent to whom I am land agent has considered to occupy the house I now reside in himself and I am consequently obliged to remove to a distance of four miles.

I have sent by this days coach a box containing plans and prospectus sent to me by Mr Chapman ... The alteration at the Hall is proceeding with all possible despatch ... it appears the railway if carried into execution would take the same line as the intended canal was to have passed and you will observe that it would pass through the centre of the Bearl and Short Wood and proceed past Peepy intersecting the whole of your estate in the north side of the River. It is

Mr. Raine,
I duly received your letter of the 16th of last Month and am sorry I have so long delayed replying to it.
With respect to the Swans, I must own that I do not feel by any means satisfied that the six which came here some weeks since are those which are <missing> from the Bretton Water. The fact is there have been two flights, consisting of six each, seen at this place at the same time and this circumstance I mentioned to Colnl.

Col Carr told me ten days ago he had received a letter from Sir J Swinburn the contents of which he would communicate to you and Mr E.S. was to meet Col Coulson by appointment at Col Carr last Tuesday to contradict your statement. I shall see the Col tomorrow and in case he has not made you acquainted with the particulars of thi
