Graham’s Town, *\r/ 16\th/ 1824 /
Sir, /
When I did myself the honour of addres+sing /
your last post on the Subject of the Fund for the /
relief of the distres+sed 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 dis=tribution. /
I take the liberty of repeating the desire /
I expres+sed, and a more detailed account /
of those distributed, as every day makes /
the inaccuracy of the acc\t./ 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 here=with /
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 Ob\t/ Humble Serv /
