Letter of Postmaster General to the Lords of the Treasury, on Petition of Mr. M'Adam for payment of Balance due to him on account of services stated to have been rendered by him in the improvement of the Public Roads.

My Lords,

Mr. John Loudon M'Adam having addressed to us a memorial, relative to certain claims on account of the services which he states to have been rendered by him in the improvement of the public Roads of the kingdom, we have the honour to transmit the same to your lordships for such consideration as it may appear to you to deserve; and we have to state, that ''the favourable opinions which we entertained and expressed in our former reports upon this subject, have been confirmed by experience; and that by employing Mr. M'Adam to survey the roads in Lancashire, the most beneficial results are likely to follow''.

We are, my Lords, with great respect,

Your Lorships most obedient servants,

General Post-office,.

6th Feb. 1823.

H. Bryer, Printer, Bridge-street, Blackfriars.
