and as the alterations which Mr Martin has made in Mr Mercer's Quarterly Account render it necessary that the account for the September Quarter should be transmitted by the same opportunity,
I have refrained from sending in this Audit Account and am waiting for the Quarterly Account for September last, in order that they may both go home together.
