J.B. to Walter Audit office Correspondence 2 S. P. 24 May 1808
Sir
I write this in answer to Your Letter of the 24th last
just received.
Enclosed in this
with this Letter were
sent
1 —Booths ltr to J.B.
2. White's Rect
3. Whitcombs queries &
observations on J.B.'s
accts.
I have to thank express my acknowledgements to the
Board for their indulgence: and at the same time to account
for having thus long trespassed on it.
The delay has not had for its cause any the slightest
apprehension of failure of proof in respect of any one aspect
of the articles of which my discharge is composed: amounting
to a sum be it remembered, almost little less than twice the amount
of the charge.
The evidence which I should have recourse to in the last
resort it a species of evidence which I trust the Board
would not, and which I am certain no Court of Justice before
which I could be called, would or could refuse: viz. examination
delivered upon oath delivered upon (or by the affidavit of the Board
not for thought fit) delivered either by persons to whom, or by persons
by whom the sums respective sums were paid, or by both:
this together with my own examination if required, in answer to
every whatever relevant questions either have been or every
to have been put to me.
The sole cause of my not having sent in an
full answers to the several questions and observations soon after they were required made to
me by the paper framed by Mr Chief Inspector, was the
indefinite tim length of time which the framing a compleat
answer threatened to require, coupled with the great inconvenience
which could have been produced to me to me by the objective of
desisting from a business of a public nature oth to which I had devoted
the whole of my time, and divesting from it a portion of time
the extent of which I was felt myself unable to measure.
