buildings intended by the Hospital to be erected thereon</p>
<p n="2510">We beg leave also to remind the Governors that our<lb></lb>
Houses were built conformable to the Plans which they saw<lb></lb>
and approved, previous to the agreement favour Leases;<lb></lb>
and with Timbers of the scantlings prescribed by themselves.</p>
<p n="2511">And though it has been often said, that some of them<lb></lb>
were built without due regard to the vicinity of the Sewer, yet<lb></lb>
in the instance supposed to be most in point (Mr Waddington)<lb></lb>
the agreement for a Lease was actually witheld till the<lb></lb>
Governors and several Surveyors had inspected and<lb></lb>
approved the plan of the Building and had satisfied<lb></lb>
themselves by a View, that the principal Wall, close to the<lb></lb>
sewer and about Eighty feet in length, had been built by<lb></lb>
Mr Mylne himself; and that the other precautions to<lb></lb>
avoid injury to the Sewer and danger to the Building were<lb></lb>
in all respects proper and amply Sufficient.</p>
<p n="2512">We have been led to offer remarks, not by any<lb></lb>
serious apprehensions for our Houses, which, though<lb></lb>
greatly injured by the late Public Works, we have no doubt<lb></lb>
will last our Term; but because the Governors seem to think<lb></lb>
it no part of their Tenants in taking care that a Job, so<lb></lb>
interesting eventually to their own most valuable Estate, be<lb></lb>
carefully and securely executed:although nothing can be<lb></lb>
more clear, than that, if the present occasion be lost, the Injury to<lb></lb>
their Property may be not only great, but irreperable.</p>
<p n="2513">You will be so good as to take an early opportunity of laying<lb></lb>
these observations before the Governors, with assurances that<lb></lb>
we are with due regard</p>
