| Title | Petition to John Nanfan re: explanation of an incomplete account summary |
| Date | 2 September 1701 |
| Author | Livingston, Robert (1654-1728) |
| Recipient | Nanfan, John |
| Document Type | Business and financial document |
| Content Description | Livingston petitioned with an explanation as to the incompleteness of an accounting of all payments received from the Provincial Government for the previous seventeen years. This report remained incomplete, according to Livingston, due to unforeseeable circumstances including the death of the Earl of Bellomont, negotiations with the "Indians of the Five Nations as Secretary to the Indian affairs," and a summons to sit in the Assembly upon the absence of the Lt. Governor. He also requests that the warrants which were deemed "frivilous" be reinstated, and finally requests an auditor to be appointed to verify the veracity of his petition and end the "violent method of proceeding against the Petitioner." |
