Letter – Thomas Richard Beaumont to John Erasmus Blackett – 14 Feb 1797

								H[ouse of] C[ommons] 14th 1797.

My dear Sir,

I have just seen Mr. Burdon respecting the Money wanted for the pays, and he will write to Mr. Surtees on the Subject, I wish you would inform me the sum that will be wanted. He informs me you had an Idea of putting off the pays ‘till June, at this particular period when the Men are so very much dissatisfied it would not by any means be prudent to put off the pays if the Money can be had at any rate, and as they have always been made in May, circumstanced as I am I certainly would move everything to keep to the exact time – I will be much obliged to you to say, what Bills will be due at that time, likewise what Bills will become payable in the course of a few Months – 

I am My dear Sir

Your sincere Hble Servt.

Tho. Rd. Beaumont.
