Letter – Thomas Richard Beaumont to John Erasmus Blackett – 4 Mar 1793

								Bretton March 4th 93

Dear Sir,

As some particular Business in Parliament calls me to London this Week it will not be in my power to come to Newcastle next Monday as I intended, and if Mr. Skelton should not be with you then, which is at present uncertain, I shall be glad to have yours and the individual opinions in writing of Mr. Bell and the several Lead Agents how far the proposed Inclosure will affect my Interests in every point of View both for and against me, and particularly as to the Lead Carriage, and before anything is done towards carrying the Inclosure into Execution , whether it will not be proper to take time for considering the matter fully & what I ought to require to be done for the Accommodation of my Works and Estates & that may be requisite thereto in future and whether any Cast Iron  or Railed ways can be laid in the now most impassable parts of the Roads to facilitate the carriage in general and especially in wet seasons. I shall be obliged to you to desire the Agents to take care that the Woods be well fenced and preserved – In your letter of the 10th Feby. you say you have ordered a sum of money about 10,000£ to be paid into the Hands of my Bankers, which you expected would be done in the course of ten days, which you hoped would be equally convenient to me, in my last letter I requested you would tell me whether it was intended for my private account or as part of the Pays. – 

I am Dear Sir

Your most oblig. Hble Servant

Tho. Rd. Beaumont
