Dear Sir
As the Stanhope Township had done a great deal and wish to complete the New Road to Shorngate as soon as possible and think by continuing the Work during the Winter whenever the Weather permits the ultimate cost will be less than by contracts and be in Spring <season> when Work is more plentiful.

My dear Wenty,
It is a saying of Voltaire’s, that all History teaches only one lesson, that ‘the Strong always oppress the weak.’ However, there are others the <same Paris honour> of Injustice the Humiliation of Pride &c
There is a better foundation for an Englishman’s Education than History, which is to learn how to apply to all subjects strong common sense & liberal feeling. History often invokes much Prejudice. I believe, after all, that the best Basis of a Gentlem

My dear Wenty,
Don’t you expect too much from the young Republic in supposing it possible that they shd wish to place their affairs in steady & tried hands? We know all their steady & tried hands, & I shd be sorry to see Theirs trusted by them. O Barrot they will have nothing to say to for he desired to substitute the Dk of Orleans & the young <Cte> de Paris!
Now the most that we can hope for is the continuance of the present men in pow

My dear Wenty,
I am delighted with your plan & very readily give my approbation to it. I hope you will visit the Hebrides, Fingals cave & I remember well crossing Ben Lomond on foot & sleeping that night at a small Inn near the Trossachs. Your Uncle William had a tall Highlander for a Bedfellow & much distressed he was with his companion. Bird & I shared the same bed. But the Fleas annoyed me more than my companion. We had a fine View & a beautiful day. We crossed the

My dear Wenty,
Yr Mama has reminded me that I promised you a Programme. I have sent you a sketch of it <D Sk> but I hereby give it to you in detail.
There are 3 principal Residences of the Mining Agents viz Allenheads, Newhouse in Weardale Co of Durham and Coalcleugh in Northumberland. There isn’t anything in particular to interest you at Coalcleugh & if Sop[wit]h considers that a Visit to a Smelting mill is likely to be more instructive & more novel I recom

My dear Wenty,
Altho’ I do not think it likely that you will be corrupted by Ld Chesterfield I will tell you the opinion of Lonsdale – Bp of Lichfield & contemporary of mine at Eton <a per> him, that his Book contained the morals of a W[hore] & the manner of a Dancing master. This is a more even statement than his Lordship deserves, but his Recommendations are far too worldly to do any good.
I hope that you have finer weather in North[umberlan]d tha

With regard to a Settlement betwixt Mr. Beaumont and myself nothing whatever has been done since I heard from you last. – Mr. Rodgers called upon me and said Mr. Edward Beaumont wished me (he intimated that he would <demand>) to give up all Mr Beaumonts letters to you.
