Letter – Benjamin Johnson to Thomas Wentworth Beaumont – 1 Aug 1825
Mr B. Aug 1825
..I sent a quantity of the best fruit ripe to the dinner of the Horticultural society. The grapes were particularly fine and by far the best in the room. I also sent a basket to the mayor. I shall send fruit and vegetables to Mrs Beaumont tomorrow and observe your instructions as to the remainder as it ripens ... I shall take every care in my power to preserve the game at Bywell and prevent every one from shooting which I can assure you has never been the case but I cannot

… say if I may direct the dog which came from Bretton to be destroyed as Strutt says he is good for nothing and besides eaten up with the mange ... Will you allow T Strutt anything towards removing his family back to Yorkshire? He had ten pounds allowed him when they came into Northumberland.

Letter – Charles Monck to Charles Grey – 22 Sep 1825
Wheatley 22nd Sept 1825
My dear Lord
Your letter has been forwarded to me from Belsay & came here yesterday morning.
Under the same qualifications which you mention I have told Lord Howick that he shall have my best wishes & all the support which I can give him when he offers his services to the County.
Recollecting the jealousy which Lambton’s presence at that meeting at Blagdon last wi

The D of Northumberland to Mr W Gordon
I return you herewith Lord Grey’s letter & request you will take an opportunity of thanking him for the communication. As we are so soon to have the pleasure of seeing you in the North & the ideas of a Dissolution are suspended for the present, I shall abstain from offering any remarks on the subject; except to assure you that I consider no person more fit to offer himself for the representation of this County than the eldest son of Lord G

Govt House Oct 14th 1825
My dear Monck
I received your letter of the 222nd Sept from Wheatley in due course. The postponement of the dissolution seems to render any further dissension on that subject unnecessary for the present.
But there are two points in your letter on which I am anxious to prevent any further misunderstanding between us.
In the first place with respect to Lambton I really was
Letter – Charles Monck to Charles Grey – 18 Oct 1825
Belsay 18th Oct 1825
My dear Lord
From your letter which is come by this evening’s post, I find, with great pain, that the caution that I took the Liberty to offer you about the personal appearance of Lambton at the approaching Election, excites your displeasure and is not likely to serve my purpose, which was twofold - first, to save you from a false step which I think most likely, if taken, to be fatal

My dear Mother,
I have received this morning the enclosed, and tho’ the request is <very complicated> from Hexham, I do not see anything objectionable in it. The consideration of promoting idleness I should not think worthy of attention, for it is always better that an Open & ostensible mode of employing idle & leisure hours to <have ……> than the secret means which are always more prejudicial to the fortune & character of

Mrs <....> is arrived at Bradley and has applied to me for some grouse to shoot. I have written to Mattw Lee to <....> what he can before the.season closes but the moors are now covered with a thick snow and I fear he will not be able to get many. She also wants some pheasants and Partridges but as there is no gamekeeper here and having your .positive instructions that no person is to shoot at Bywell I have declined sending any until I receive your instruction

I have seen the plan of the intended railroad in the south side of the river the original line on the north side being entirely abandoned. They wish to pass through the Stockfd Hall farm and come along the bank in front of the hall on the opposite side of the river. If this is permitted they would cut down nearly the whole of the wood in front and lay open <....> above the turnpike road but their rail road also. As they by a little extra cutting keep on the south side

Dear Sir John
I have this morning received your letter of the 6th & have no doubt that it has been dictated by the friendly regard I have always experienced from you, however mortifying it may be to me, in the opinion you have felt yourself bound to express. It cannot be necessary for me to call to [underlined: ‘your’] recollection etc what has passed respecting the North’d Election. You know how ready I was to offer my support to Monck,

My dear Mrs. Wentworth
From our very long acquaintance & friendly intimacy I cannot allow another day to pass without assuring you how truly I feel the distress that Mr. Wentworth & you must now experience: On my arrival in London on Saturday evening I received the alarming account, & soon after a gentleman from a banking house in the city arrived to give me further particulars which gave me very great concern, I sent off directly for

Lord Ravensworth has not yet let Bradley and I fear it will rest in your hands another year. In this case your Brother possibly might prefer going there at Mayday and superintending the painting and papering of Bywell himself.
