February 1793

Gentlemen,

Having understood by verbal communication of Mr.
Stirling that you expected I shou'd myself discharge the whole duty of
attending the Prisons I have (though I had engaged an Assistant) to
my utter inconvenience and loss obeyed your commands. I can however
no longer continue to do so & therefore leg leave immediately to resign
situation as truly disgusting to my Feelings as injurious to my Interest
In all probability you are at no loss for a Person to succeed me as I am
well informed that previous to the Message I received the place had been
offered to a Gentleman at Islington . - Shou'd you be nevertheles
unprovided I dare say that Mr. Hayne long an Inhabitant of Clerkenwell
and who has attended with me for the last fortnight will do the business
till you shall be pleased either to appoint him or some other.

I am,
Gentleman ,
With all due respect
your very Obedient
humble Servant.
