My dear Sir

I had the pleasure of writing to you yesterday. We are very happy to find that the Price of Lead is raised, and hope it will continue. I trust Mr Hunter will use every Exertion in getting the Lead down as fast as possible, and carry forward the Works at the Several Lead Mills with Briskness. It most certainly would be advisable should the Executors of Mr Newton's Family intend to Contest the Affair of their Account, to give up one half the Amount, and a full discharge for the remainder. Mr <Sowton> has given a satisfactory reason for why the Bill did not pass in its former manner, & seems to have attended to it, by opposing the Clauses being left out. Should any other enclosure be mentioned to me I will give the Answer you mention to me in Yours of the 6th. I am happy in saying that the Sea air and bathing has been of very great use to the Children, & that they and Mrs Beaumont are very well, She unites with me in best respects.

I am My dear Sir

Most Sincerely Yours

Tho. Rd. Beaumont



We propose leaving this on Wednesday next for Bretton
