I cannot omit in this letter to you my perfect approbation of the Committee's having declined to receive evidence of a wearisome and inimatory nature, which could have tended to no good purpose; and could not have failed to add to the difficulty of the invidious and ... unpleasant duty which I am called to perform in this matter.

I return the Proceedings of the Committee, and all the other documents that accompanied them, in order that the latter be returned (as far as is necessary) to the owners of them.

The Fifty Pounds paid to the Master of the "Lady Amherst," at Amoy will be deducted from my Bills, and paid to Captain Bruce, or his order, by the Treasurer and Secretary to Government:

I have &c.
