Mr. Bell Newcastle 14th. March 1801
Hexham Abbey
Dear Sir
The enclosed was sent me by Colonel Beaumont, and he wishes that what Mr. Bowns recommends may be carried into Execution; should you find any Objection to the Mode of proceeding, you will please to mention it. – Coln. Beaumont likewise desires that what I mentioned to you in a former Letter respecting your preparing a proper Bond for £900. – at 5 pr. Ct. dated 1st. Jan.y last, for Mr. Isaac Hunter to execute, may be immediately done by you, and that you will get it executed.-
On Enquiry of Mr. Walton he informs me that G.[reenwich] Hospital do not pay more than 18d. p[er] day for Labourers, but as Hexham is rather a dear place, I hope that your Labourers will be satisfied with 20d pr. Day.-
As the Lead from Allen Mill will now be coming down very fast (and possibly some from Dukesfield) and the Lead now at Hexham lays in a very loose Manner, you are desired to give Directions that the Lead Yard at the Abbey may be got ready as soon as may be, for the Reception of the Lead.
I am &c. J.E.B.
