| Description | Letter dated 1 July 1817 from James Bevans of London and Lindley Woodhead and Hurst of Doncaster to Lawrence Dundas MP chairman of the Committee to erect an Asylum for the Lunatic Paupers of the North Riding.

They hope that the Committee will take into account the expense of their travelling to Northallerton when the designs were twice considered without a decision being made
