My dear Sir Enclosed is a letter w[hi]ch Mr Burdon gave me respecting Mr Healls affairs, I will thank You to give me Your Opinion on the Matter. As the sale of the Land Tax is put off for some time longer, a more accurate account may be made out than in a hurry. It appears to me that a Bill which has passed will affect a certain description of people in this Country, & I fear will cause some inconveniences, that is that when One Pound notes, the immense circulation of Notes <of 5s> & 10s-6d in Yorkshire are really a great inconvenience to the Country in general, & I fear will be of very bad tendency. I perfectly agree with you that Sir H. Wilson's letter was very ridiculous but what can You say to a man like him, he is totally ignorant of what he has stated but only <gives> it in the manner in which it was mentioned to him. As the 25th of this Month now approaches, it will be necessary that some steps should be taken about the Colliery <Sir Ed.> I hope has made up his mind about it. as some decisive Answer should be given to Mr Errington who I must see very soon, as he as well as my self are anxious for a decision You can have no doubt that every preference w[o]uld be given to Sir Ed[ward] Blackett. Tomorrow is the day fixed for Mr Pitts motion about the tenth of income, as Mines will be materially affected in that, I will thank you for your Opinion on that head, as on a former occasion when that was suggested you wished to have some <previous> notice upon what Grounds they [word missing] to act upon. I am now going down to <the> House on the Land Tax Bill. I hope you excuse haste as I have been on <N[orthumberlan]d Business. In haste, most Sincerely Yours Tho. Rd. Beaumont
