4
year which expense amounted to £ —where the
repairs thus come to twice the first cost of the questionable reading, I cannot help
thinking that extraordinary profits must have been charged .
"We think" That there are remains of timber at Redbridge to a considerable
amount, I stated forthe information of their Lordships in my letter to you of —
other articles of remaining at the would have been, & still with be accounted
for when the general account shall be closed made up.
"In case" The principal vouchers are now made to enter more into detail more minute than
was before judged to be requisite. Receipts are sent to all the principal
bills &almost every one of the smaller ones, the charges in lumped
sums are now made out according to the rates at which they were
paid & are moreover questionable readingto by my Agents in the manner re-
-quired— &if they now fall short deleted textpoint of regularity & accu-
-racy, I can only say that it is because I have not learnt the art of do not know how to
making make out accounts regularly & accurately in any other manner than
by setting down the actual expenses I have been at— I am myself
certain of the fidelity of my agents, though I am well aware that
they are none of them deleted textbook-keepers by profession .
"In regard" the continuation of the vouchers with sufficiently
questionable readingthe difference of £ 1.328.7.6 & as to the actual dis-
-bursements, I am ready to questionable reading to them in any way in which
I may be called upon by their Lordships
"no 12" The particulars of the work are not therewith now included in Helbys account thequestionable reading
expenses
"no 34" The questionable readingin question happened to have been leftquestionable reading, & in
the hurry of sending in the accounts, never supposing them to be final
ones, it was not thought worth while to wait till the bill would
have been found
"35" "Hooper" I would particularly beg leave to call their Lordships
particular attention to this article—the material supplied by Hooper are
in most instances the regular prices at Plymouth, in one instance swing to the
local price of that kind of timber at Tor-point, the change in higher
than the contract prices, but in other instances Hooper's price
falls short of the contract price, as exhibited by way of compare-
son
