Newcastle 19th Oct 1798 Sir I received your letter of the 16th Inst the contents of which I communicated to Sir Edward Blackett who is not a little surprised to find that it has been represented to Mr H Errington that his Application for the Lease of Longage Colliery was not for the Convenience of his own Concern But for the purpose of excluding Mr Errington and accommodating Mr Tulip or some other person wh[ich] is void of truth. And I am much surprised to hear what you say respecting Mr Tulip as he must be very sensible that Sir Edw[ar]d Blackett had made Application Not only to Col[o]n[el] Beaumont but likewise to the late Sir Tho[ma]s Blackett for a lease of that Colliery at the expiration of the Old Lease. Col[o]n[el] Beaumont has accordingly acquiesced with his request and a lease will be granted to him accordingly. Sir Your Humble Servant T.R.B Mr John Donkin
