On this occasion the Chief Inspector places great importance
on the distinction between originals and copies. Had
it been said to me this Account or this paper may serve, provided
it be authenticated in such or such a manner by such
or such a person or such or such another, for which
purpose it is sent back to you, the business would have
been settled without difficulty.

The same persons being the sources of the evidence
and the authentication of the evidence in both cases how the difference between an original and
a copy can apply I can not imagine. The lost invoices
for on the production of which the Chief Inspector, understanding them to be
lost is so anxious insists so peremeptorily were but copies
from the books or other antecedent entries made by some
Clerk in the counting house of the Manufacturers by whom
the goods were transmitted. Authenticated by the same
person or persons why may not any other copy be as
good as these were.

Here have I double proof. On the one hand are the
Manufacturers by whom the goods were sent: and who have
already declared and cor their signature and are of course
ready to declare upon oath, these are the goods are as sent
to such a person for the use of the Penitentiary House.
On the one hand I have other persons who are ready to
declare and if an as ready to swear — looking on that
same account — the goods comprized in that account
were received by us, and applied as designed in the
use of the said Penitentiary House. But these persons
not being dead, nothing that they say will be regarded by
Mr Chief Inspector as being sufficient.

The Account now transmitted as from Booth and Co
was obtained by written intercourse and by written intercourse
only, exactly like that the Receipt obtained from Mr White. The whole of the
correspondence
correspondence I am
ready to produce, upon
oath as before: and
whatever has been said
in regard to the
intercourse with Mr White I beg may be considered as repeated with reference
to this.
