										Jan – 30th – 97.

My dear Sir,

Mrs. Beaumont & myself left Town on Thursday last on a visit to Lord & Lady Dudley for a Week, it is a most charming situation and the House very large and the Grounds very neatly laid out. I had the Favor of Yours wherein you mention you was to see Mr. John Surtees respecting the Letter you had received from Mr. Búrdon, I hope they will be able to assist us at the pays otherwise we shall be in very great distress, & I would not upon any account that the day should be postponed, for at this time it would be attended with many disagreeable circumstances to me in my present Situation – I purpose being in town on the eighth of next Month – Mrs. Beaumont joins me in respectful Compliments to Mrs. Collingwood & yourself,-

I am My dear Sir Your sincere hble Servant

Tho. Rd. Beaumont.
