My dear Sir

At the time I rec[eived]d Your letter in town respecting the purchasing of the Land Tax I did not see it in the light I do at present or should most undoubtedly have made the purchase on the Spot, Tweedale has not made out his Estimate as yet, when he has I will settle with the Commissioners here, as I shall have the Land Tax to pay for Weardale, had I not better send a Power of Att[orne]y up to Messrs Barclay for the Money I have in Stocks; & then he can replace the 2622 which will be bought by Messrs Surtees. I am exceeding concerned for giving you so much trouble, and very much hurt at my own want of attention, it was at the time I was ill, and I was great taken up about my <Rgt> as it was just landed and not settled. I hope it will make no material difference. I have sent the redemption Contract to Messrs Barclays

I am my dear Sir

Most sincerely yours

Tho. Rd. Beaumont
