- Scope and Content:
- "My dear Redgrave, The auditors could not sign the general statement of accounts at the meeting on Friday last because the treasurer did not lay before us his authority from the council for expenditure on the new building. We adjourned until today - but again Mr Smirke 'had quite forgotten' to bring the necessary documents with him - so we have not signed. Our report will raise a debate as to tomorrow's council and will give you grounds for availing the vicious combination of architect & treasurer being one person. I hope you will do your utmost to press the question beyond a mere consideration and take a first step for a separation of the offices. It is difficult to do anything as matters are now ordered! After our last pre audit the council - because of certain withholdings from the auditors - delayed their permission to pay the bills - today we were called upon to post audit the very bills which have been paid in the face of the council. Believe me yours very truly, Henry T. Wells. In searching the bank book we found that our treasurer based[?] his labours by writing single cheques for Mr Eyre[?] as high as £692.- Mr Eyre to dispense[?] in smaller payments."
