My dear Sir

I have considered a good deal about purchasing of the Land Tax, & should be glad to purchase mine both in Northumberland, & here. But I fear I shall find some difficulty in raising the money for there will be so much land brought into the Market that we shall not be able to find purchasers, could I raise the Money to buy stock, or could I get anyone to lend me some stock, I would immediately buy my land Tax.  I go up to Town on the 17th inst to the meeting of Parliament, Charles Brandling comes here& we go up together. We have a party come here tomorrow, the Lees & some others it is Wentworth's Birthday.  Mrs Beaumont unites with me in best respects to Mrs Collingwood & Yourself.

I am My dear Sir

Most Sincerely Yours

Tho. Rd. Beaumont
