Letter – Thomas Richard Beaumont to John Erasmus Blackett – 5 Dec 1796

										Decr. 5th 1796 –

My dear Sir,

The Stock has been paid this Morning to Mr. Burdon, & I shall loose by the whole about thirteen hundred Pounds. I always understood that Lancasters were to pay the full amount, however it is better to loose a part than the whole sum. What has been done about the Money, I hope we shall be able to recover some of that. I called this Morning upon Mr. Wilson who has been concerned for us in the Affair of the Stack.s – he told me their Solicitor had informed him that Mr S was about publishing a pamphlet <stating> my transaction and that it was to come out very soon.



It will be something novel, when it appears I will send you one down.  I am

My dear Sir

Your sincere hble Servant.

Tho. Rd. Beaumont.
