My dear Sir
I have the Favor of Yours, & I yesterday received the schedule of my Land Tax from you [struck out: Mr Bell] for the County of Durham. When I am to transfer the stock it shall be done immediately. You may depend upon it I will take no measures respecting the Hexham Turnpike Road until I hear again from You. I will tell Sir George what You say, about the Miners, it is one of his wild Ideas. In a letter from You dated 8th March you mention the Pays will amount to about £51,000 and that there was in Bills & Money 61202£. I have this morning had the offer of a most charming House, and the price asked is 1200£. the Gentleman who has the House has <over run> the Constable and it must go. the terms of the Lease and other circumstances are such, that if they ans[we]r to what we have been told, will make it a prodigious purchase, as yet no one knows, the least the House is to be sold it is a sudden thing. I think the exigency of the Business will bring it lower. We are to have the particulars tomorrow or next day & will write You word. I am happy to say Mrs Beaumont & the Children are all very well. She unites with me in best respects to Mrs Collingwood & Yourself. I am My dear Sir
Most Sincerely Yours
Tho. Rd. Beaumont
