committee of directors appointed by the Board settle
the accounts Of John G. McRae & Co., and Of his at

statement Col Gwynn in his Gard says has no foun-

him whatever -" that he not consulted by any
member of the committee, not invited by any one
of them to attend and not present at any meeting
of the committee This, as will be seen is fiat con

the truth the public will Judge. The answers of the
committee equally fat in their contradiction of Col

DEAR SIR My recollection of the settlement made
in the wint,r of 1854, at Raleigh of the account
John G. Mel. & Co, by Committee of the Board4
is not spec, of the meetings of the Committee as to
enable me to say whether Col Gwynn, Chief Engineer,
was in attendance on the Committee or not
| only remember my efforts to get inforna-
ton explanatory of the account rendered. Of these
have perfectly clear recollection and repeat here
distinctly what was said by me last winter in this
nection, that for my own information consulted all the
parties freely and without reserve. I talked to Col.
Gwynn Chief Engineer, to Mr. Miller, Assistant En-
gineer, and to Mr.. McRae TO all these gentleman for
very manifest to get clear understanding of
what was allowed on the one sde-o what was claimed
the other. How otherwise could we have proceeded
to settlement at all? The Committee reluctantly
agreed to undertake the matter but being unable to re-
fuse it. they proceeded to act having an account sub
mitted by the Chief Engineer for their basis of action
1t very well understood that the Chief Engineer de-
clined to advlSe any settement-he did to me-but
the Chief Engineer would scarcely have refused to give
information, when asked touching the account and the
cOntracts-such information needful to an I'M
Outstanding Of the matter. This what asked and
received freely from all parties, said before and not
until last winter had it ever to my that any
dissatisfaction existed with respect to the adjudication
of this veXed matter. 1t had been my impression that
the officers of the Company not only very glad to
be relieved of the duty of making this settlement, but
were well satisfied with it's terms
