Morpeth 19th June 1802 Dear Sir I am favoured with your letter of the 10th inst.. enclosing copy of the Bishops letter to you, your answer to which was in my opinion very proper, for an interview with him could not answer any good purpose to you, & the less that you said on the business the better; the Bishop I have no doubt will be disappointed & highly displeased with your answer, he wished to have drawn you into a Compromise, or Reference, but Circumstanced as you are, that certainly was to be avoided: I can scarce think that the Bishops Lawman will advise him to bring the matter into a Court of Law, but should he be so ill advised, you must be prepared to meet him in which case it will be necessary that you should retain Council, Mr Wood & either Serg[ean]t Cockle or Mr Parks may be very proper Persons to be employed for you; I shall be at Newcastle early tomorrow morning, shall consult Mr Williamson & write to you by the following post. I am Dear Sir Yours JEB Colonel Beaumont
