reprove the false accuser - When you first did me the Honor to call upon me at Hammersmith I understood all along that I was to be authorised to collect for His Majesty's Royal Botanic Gardens.
The merely going out as a Superintendant of Convicts for forty Pounds a year, it will scarcely keep me in Necessaries. If in future you hear of my Conduct I trust it will never be wanting in Due Respect for those who are my Superiors and Benefactors.
I have the Honor to be Sir
Your much oblig'd & most
Obt. Humble Servant
