Dear Sir,
I am informed that the agreement with Mr McAdam as Surveyor of the Turnpike Roads under the Alston Trust expired in November. I have always been led to believe that the bargain made with him was improvident, that his Services been of a doubtful Character and that the allowances to him and to his Assistants have been continued on an extravagant Scale.
