To the PROPRIETORS of EAST INDIA STOCK.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
IT is with the greatel concern that I feel mytelf at
prefent under the neeeffity of withdrawing from the coutelt
to fill the vacancy in the DireCtion of the Fait India Company .
when the favourable reception which I hid met with on my can-
vet's, and the kind exertions of my friends had given me the molt
flattering hopes of fuccefs. My perfonal difappointment I Mall
endeavour to bear with fortitude ; hut I feel mach concerned that
I fhould have given fo much trouble to the Proprietors in general,
and particularly to thole who have fo kindly and elfedually ex-
erted thendelves in my favour.
I have no doubt, however, that a few words will convinee you
that I have Not put you to this inconvenience on light grounds, or
without having every rearm to fuppofe I was duty qualified. It
may therefore be nceeffary for me to Rate, how I have ►een init.
led refpeaing my qualification, the alleged defect of which is the
cattle of my declining the ballot.
Illy one of your Bye-Laws, Chapter 6, Sedion It is or-
" &dried, That no perfon than be eleaed a Direder of this Com-
" puny, within two years after having held any Office in the Civil,
" Military, ce Maritime fervice of the Company:*
I returned from China in dos, and in the month of June ha
that year my alp was entirely cleared of her cargo.
I bad given up all intention of going to fez again; my pay ■ae
obligation by charter•party eared to era, sod I have never fines
received pay, or entered into any eharter•party, or other centred!
to live the Company. I eashquenay conceived that from that
time I had ecafed to be in your fervice.
Is December 1803 t►e alp which I had commanded was taken
up with others of the feafooony name vras given in by the owners
as a matter of cootie; I was at a dittance front town, and igno-
rant of theta!, and the nip was appointed to a voyage, without
any application on my part.
On the aeth January, 1804, I gave in a refignation. I confidered
this to be occeffary, in order to enable a Commander to be ap-
pointed so the alp ; but I bad no conception that a mere funnel
ad could have eonnedtcd me with the fervice which I bad allfo-
lately telinquithed.
I was much furprized when I was informed, that at the Court
of Direaors on Friday lalt my qualification for a Diredtor was
called in queftios ; and I was greatly mortified at learning that
the objedtion was confidered by the-Court ass bar to. my relent
pretentious.

My refpeft for the Courtof Direetors, and for the individualswho campofe it, is too great to make me think of combating
their opinion. In deference to that epistles, I retire from the pre-
f.ot ballot; at the fame drag I take the liberty to obferve, that I
was not withetit reafon stifled, as It has am been the opinion of
thole in yodr Naval Service, there Captain retires from the date
of. the.IhiPASIPS clewed out.
I have only to repeat my unfeigned thanks for your unprece-
dented erotism on my behalf, and my inure regret at the
trouble I have given you ; and I fruit that the great and difintertit-
ed Ampere I have received will Mire my EL Etion at the Grit re-
cam which may occur after niy qualification is complete.
1 have the honour to be, Ladles and Gentlemen.
Your mob obedient and obliged humble Servant,
