It is not an agreeable task to admit
that one is financially embarrassed, and
in our two letters to the Honourable the
Colonial Secretary we purposely refrained
from stressing this point as we were
convinced of the justice of our claims on

have been disallowed we are compelled
humbly to petition you to alleviate our
present financial embarrassment.
We have the honour to be
Sir,
Your most obedient humble servants
