My dear Sir
Had I seen the resolution of the Committee which I put into your hands yesterday at Mr Pease’s request in the same light in which I now do, I should have declined even so far complying with it: but it is in [illegible] to be presumed that they had recourse to my mediation with a view of undoing the communication as little offensive to you as possible. I have however written to Mr Pease to express my surprise that such an office sh’d have been laid upon me without my priority or consent & to decline interposing any further: acquainting him at the same time that I should request you to address your answer to the Chairman of the Committee as the proper representative

of the Comp’y & this I w’d now beg you to do, considering me as having nothing more to do with the business.
I remain
My dear Sir
Yours very truly
D M Peacock
