Robert Campbell Esq. Naval Officer
Sir
Mr. Blaxcell has communicated to me the Contents of a Letter from you of the 12th inst. relating to two Stills imported into this Colony in my Ship the Dart which you state the Governor has directed are to be shipped on board the Duke of Portland. In answer I must beg to acquaint His Excellency that I have nothing to do with the Still belonging to Captn. Abbott and that it is my intention to dispose of my own to some Ship going to India or China.
If that should be objected too the Head and Worm can be disposed of as the Governor thinks proper and I shall appropriate the Copper to some domestick use.
I am &c
(Signed) John McArthur

to which letter I received no answer, as a proof that the Heads and Worms of the Stills were delivered into the Government Stores. I beg leave to produce the receipt of which the following is a Copy.
