  Letter of Postmaster General to the Lords of the Treasury, on Petition
    of Mr. MᶜAdam 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 MᶜAdam 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. MᶜAdam to survey the roads in Lancashire, the most
beneficial results are likely to follow_.

                      We are, my Lords, with great respect,
                                  Your Lordships most obedient servants,
                                                  CHICHESTER.
                                                  SALISBURY.

 _General Post-office,
   6th Feb. 1823._

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