you any return. When I arrive at New South Wales I know that I shall often regret the loss of time that has been caused by this delay, for then I shall not have a minute to spare, for I intend to fetch it up again if possible. It is not improbable but what our stay at the Cape of good Hope will be longer that what is thought to be. My wish is that we may not be detained there long, for I shall not have a good opportunity of drying Specimens until I arrive at the place of my destination. To see new objects without procuring specimens is greatly mortifying. So I shall conclude with hoping that you may enjoy your health, and have the pleasure of examing what is the chief object of my mind to fulfil.
I am with the greatest respect
and regard, your humble
and obedient, but ever to be
indebted servant,
