Scarbro’ My dear Sir, I have the Favor of yours and am much obliged to You for making my apologies for not being able to be at the Abbey to give the Bishop the meeting. If you think it absolutely necessary to have a House for to keep our Papers &c in, the smaller the better as we don’t want either a spare Room or bed as we never make use of either. I should not wish to take any one for more than seven Years I would rather have one for five. I will be much obliged to You to desire Mr. Newton would inform me in what State the Abbey is in, as we think we might make the approach to the House at the West front. I see by the papers Charles Grey has given two Guineas to the prisoners at Morpeth. I will thank you to do the same for me. Mrs. Beaumont joins me in best Respects. I am My dear Sir Most sincerely Yours Tho. Rd. Beaumont.
Dated August 1797 from handwritten annotation. The letter from JEB referred to was dated 6th August (NRO 672/E/1E/5) so this one is likely to have been written on the 8th
