Letter – Martin Morrison to Diana Beaumont – 24 Aug 1820

Mrs Beaumont -  Bretton Hall			Newcastle 24th August 1820



I have had the Honor of receiving your letter of the 23rd Inst. The Bills last remitted to Messrs Glyn & Co will be discountable in Nov[embe]r and I have no doubt, if required, your Bankers will readily discount them. Whenever it suits your convenience to visit the Mines, the time will be equally so to your Agents here; - the Amounts are all ready for examination. Major Anderson is not in this Town at present; from his Solicitor I learn that any applications to him to inspect the Deeds of the property sold to his father by Sir Thos Blackett would not be attended with success; but He has promised whenever occasion gives him the opportunity of inspecting the Deeds he will acquaint me with the particulars of the conveyance. I have written to Mr John Bell of the Manor Office to search for the Counterpart of the Deed, for as I had the Honor of stating to you before, there is nothing of the Kind in this Office. Mr Beaum[on]t having set off for London before I was aware He had left Allenh[ea]ds I directed to him, under cover for you, the last quarterly Report of the Weardale Mines, from whom in a few days, you will no doubt receive it.
