      North[umberlan]d House 8th May 1803

Sir

Being desirous of increasing the Number of Deputy Lieutenants for the County of Northumberland, for which purpose I shall send in some Names to His Majesty for His approbation, I could not think of so doing, without first desiring to know whether you will allow me to propose your Name for that situation. If I should have your consent, Sir, I must trouble you to enter your proper Qualification , for this office, with John Davidson Esq at Newcastle, the Clerk of the Peace for the County, as this Circumstance is required by Law to be inserted in the Body of Your Appointment. I have the Pleasure to be  

Sir Your most obedient Serv[an]t

      Northumberland



Tho. Rd. Beaumont Esq
