Mr. Beeven having in the 15 Indt. replied, at very Request to<lb></lb>
yours two Letters of the 19 Octo. of 11 Inst, it only remains for one to<lb></lb>
confirm my Sentiments as expressed in my letter of the 5<obscured></obscured>
Sept<lb></lb>
whereon you find I am decededly asence to any Scheme in inducts<lb></lb>
the Colliery that can lead the Hospital to the Necessity of advancery<lb></lb>
more money upon the Undertaking, which from the Offer you make<lb></lb>
normely a most losing Concern.</p>
<p n="625">Present to dressing the Sough & carrying on preparatory work,<lb></lb>
which together have last upwards of £1100; ther Colliery lell for £60.<lb></lb>
P Ann you say it will acquire £1000 more before you could give<lb></lb>
£110. P Ann first, which appears to me so extraordinary their I must<lb></lb>
request you neither to seak more respects or carry on any new<lb></lb>
Road without prevently adversing me thereof, that I may be enabled<lb></lb>
to lay the Particular before the Grand Committee, who if they<lb></lb>
agree with me in Sentiment, will pause before one more Guinea<lb></lb>
is expended.</p>
<p n="626">The Eiternate I should maker of the Value of the Colliery, must<lb></lb>
have foreto Data the old Rent & the Nevery expended to improve the<lb></lb>
Works by drevery the Sough &, which would stand thus:<lb></lb>
Old Rent P Ann£60</p>
<p n="627">£1100 expended in the Sough & which at 10 yrs Purchase 110<lb></lb>
which Sum of £170 P Ann is surely no Compensation to the Hospl.<lb></lb>
of if tell at that rate, should confent the Rnant to the quantity of Coal<lb></lb>
hees to work P Ann. etc but as the Rent searges much beyond your<lb></lb>
Eilernation I am desposed to recommended to the Committee either gettg<lb></lb>
all the money we can back from the Work as they now are<lb></lb>
(without further Advance) then lay down the Colliery, or advatages<obscured></obscured>
<lb></lb>
at to be lett to the best Bidder. But the plan of advancing at least<lb></lb>
£1000 (as you say) before you could give £110 P Ann for it, I am<lb></lb>
presented are never shall accide to.</p>
<p n="628">The Rights of the Hospl. an for an relates to the Collages ment<lb></lb>
not be last, & I recommened your immediately makg these pay who<lb></lb>
are able to do so, & those who cannot, except Boler & Nell, ment<lb></lb>
turned out. I shall be glad to hear from you as soon as<lb></lb>
posseble I am Sir your obed Sevr. At<lb></lb>
P. S.I have examined the Tibshelf Rent & Colliery Accounts find<lb></lb>
them right, except an error of 10/. too little in the Carting of the Cran side of the 28 Nov.<lb></lb>
Account your call it £72. 5. 0½ I cannot £72.15.0½. It consequently <lb></lb>
makes that to the Hosp. on the Hospl. on the Decr. last £283.9.8½(<obscured></obscured>
