My Lord,
I regret to have again to trouble Your Lordship with a further correspondence, which has taken place between the Trustees of St. John's Cathedral and myself, whereby you will see that these gentlemen have now made a demand for L. 1224, which they allege to be due by Government.
2. I trust my reply to the Trustees will satisfy Your Lordship that no such claim does exist, either legally or equitably, and that granting any further assistance towards paying the debts due by the Cathedral rests entirely at Your Lordship's discretion.
The Right Honorable The Earl Grey, &c., &c.
Jo.
