EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. '
LONDON, STH DEC., 1855.
MY LORDS, LADIES, AND GENTLEMEN,
I did not hesitate for a moment, after a first perusal
of the Report of the Committee of Investigation, to
pledge myself publicly to answer the charges I found in it.
A more careful examination of its contents confirms me in
the assurance I then gave you, that I shall be able to fully re-
deem that pledge. The answer, however, to be complete and
satisfactory, requires some time and labour in preparation, and
I respectfully ask you to delay your final judgment in
the accusations against me for as many weeks as they have
taken mu:ails to get it up.
Fully aware of the heavy responsibility of the engagement
I am about to enter into, I nevertheless entertain no doubt
that I shall by that time be in a position to convince you-
-Ist. That tr e allegations affecting my personal honour, or
the vigilance and zeal to which I pledged myself in March,
1351, are utterly withou, foundation,
2d. That to my judgment and conduct in the management
of your affairs no real or fair tests are applied in the Report,
and that they aro in some instances assailed by ignorant as-
sumptions, and in others condemned by ex post facto results.
3d. That the depreciation in the value of your property,
consequent on the publication of this !document, is unwar-
ranted by its actual condition, or future prospects.
The reply, which I am about to prepare, will, I trust, be
in the hands of the proprietary on the 24th December instant,
and as an act of justice to yourselves, as well as to the
Board and myself, I...request you to adjourn the
Meeting of Friday until you have both sides of the case be-
fore you.
Then I shall have no fear of your judgment.
I have the honour to be,
My Lords, Ladies, and Gentlemen,
Your obedient sery an t,
DAVID IVADDIIqGTO.N.
