It was at the instance, and at the Chambers of Mr White, at that
time Sollicitor to the Treasury that I wrote that signature: of
that document, which can at this time can not but be
in the possession of that gentleman or some other proper hands
my charge in respect of the sum in question, is, I presume, composed.
My discharge would (I presume suppose) consist in the first
place of the an a separate instrument of receipt for the sum signed by the
Marquis of Salisbury, the noble Lord of whom the purchase
in question was made: in the first instance (I say) of that document,
and subsidiarily (I presume) I mean supposing the others not forthcoming, by the of the instrument
of conveyance, on the back of which the acknowledg receipt of
that sum in the character of purchase money, is a
common form acknowledged. A receipt document to that effect endorsed. If any separate receipt was taken, as in respect
of the stamp duty, [+] [+] (besides the demand
for it in the
character of a Voucher,
and to be
kept as such in
custody different
from that of the conveyance)
I should
rather expect to
find it was, it
must have been
taken from and therefore on the stampt paper [+] [+] to find it wasI should expect
must in the nature of the transaction, received [+]
of from his Lordship by the said Mr White, in whose possession, or
that of some other proper person, I can not but presume
it would now be found to be. The instrument of conveyance
dated on the 12th of October 1799, is in my custody, and ready to be produced if deemed
necessary, which I should not expect it to be: But as
instrument of receipt being of the two the only one which to the transmitting it to you, which is what an obedience
being particularly adapted to the purpose of serving as to the letter of your commands to me if applied to that
a Voucher, is would for subject document would require, I flatter myself it is what you would
not be regarded by you as either necessary or proper: at least,
if the fate of this document would in that case have to follow [+]2
[+]2 that of the some
other Vouchers documents
which I had
lately occasion to send
in to the Audit Office
to serve as Vouchers
on the occasion of
an Account connected
with the one now in
question, on which
occasion having
applied for the temporary
return of certain of those
documents (being Books of Account that had been
kept for a different purpose) I received for
answer (14 July 1808) that it was
"contrary to the rules of that office to
"part with any Vouchers that
"have been delivered in
"support of an Account"
I have the honour to be,
with all respect,
Sir Your most obedient Servant

Secretary to the Treasury.
