My Dear Sir

I now send you two other parts of the minutes of the Trial and shall be much obliged to you for the appendix and the Prosecution.  I have received another letter from Lord St Vincent who recommends a speedy publication.  I hope you returned safe & well to Spring Grove yesterday - to morrow I shall be sworn in as Rear Admiral before the Board of Admiralty.

I am My Dear Sir
Most faithfully Yours

Wm Bligh

The Right Honorable
Sir Joseph Banks Bart K.B.
