Copy / Private. Admiralty 30th January 1834 Sir, I am obliged to you for calling my attention to the Speech of Mr Hutt at Hull: It abounds in exaggeration and mistatements which will shrink into their proper proportions when we come to the promised discussion in the House of Commons. I am satisfied you will do your Duty, regardless if all malevolent attacks, to which your Conduct in your Office is the best reply; and doing your Duty you are not overpaid. With regard to Mr Hodgson, the Affair is not worthy of a thought: and what he says or does would not disturb me for one moment. Let me only beg you steadily to persevere: and the improved condition of the Hospital Estate will soon speak for itself and vindicate both you and me. Very faithfully yrs (Signed) JRG Graham. John Grey Esq. [annotated on verso:] Sir James Graham to John Grey Esq. 30th January 1834/ Mr Hutt’s speech/ Mr Hodgson’s conduct
