Title	Letter from J. Griffiths to Sir John Franklin, on the final accounts made by him as Purser of H.M.S. Rainbow passed at the Admiralty but with many disallowances
Date	14 Aug 1834
Description	Disappointed and surprised to find that very considerable disallowances had been made; little attention made to vouchers and officers' signatures for unavoidable expenses for the good of the service; his supposed gains have been reduced to a mere pittance, a poor return, considering his service over 30 years, 20 years as a purser; details on circumstances for supplying of provisions in Malta and Patras; requests Sir John to represent and state his case.
