Grahams Town, r 16th 1824
Sir,
When I did myself the honour of addressing
your last post on the Subject of the Fund for the
relief of the distressed Settlers I had been
able to procure a hasty glance only of the
pamphlet alluded to; Since then I have
pursued it at leisure, and perceive the
amount of the articles which have reached
the Frontier is 1359 Rix Dollars, and that
duplicates of the same articles which make
up therefore of Rds 2704) are prepared for distribution.
I take the liberty of repeating the desire
I expressed, and a more detailed account
of those distributed, as every day makes
the inaccuracy of the acct. rendered more
manifest, and the names of other persons
besides three enumerated in my last ) have
been handed to me who deny the receipt

of money and articles which are stated to
have been given to them
I have inserted on the other Side a list of
a few of the articles Sent for distribution
and opposite to them the quantity of each
article distributed, according to the Account
in page 56 of the pamphlet. I have no
doubt that a satisfactory account can be
rendered of the remainder, and it appears
desirable for all parties that it should be
laid before the public.
As the case of the Hardens seems to
have been the original cause of the correspondence
which has been published, I
take the liberty of transmitting you herewith
her own statement of her case, which
you will not fail to perceive differs
materially from those published in the
pamphlet .
I have the honour to be
Sir,
Your Most Obt Humble Serv
