Messrs Maltby & Co July 6 1833
D[ea]r Sirs
I am favoured with your letter of the 3rd Inst. I wish Mr Hodgson a few days ago to request he would arrange with you to pay the amount of the 20,000 p[iece]s of lead when due, in cash to Mr Beaumonts Credit with Batson Berry & Co at Glyn & Co. I have no doubt he will have seen you upon it & have made such arrangement.

I rode over to Learmouth to see the manner in which the encroachments of the Tweed upon Lord Grey’s property there had been guarded against. In one part, it has been done by laying large flat Stones of equal size in rows, beginning at the river’s edge, & receding as they advance in height like steps of stairs. A good deal of this has given way, owing to the gravel upon which it is founded, having been washed out, which loosens the stones at the Bottom – and in
