| 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. |
