Dear Sir
By Lieut. Shortland Agent for the Transport I send Six Boxes of Seeds & plants. a Box with a Kangurroo, & a small bag of Gum. I should have said five boxes of Seeds & plants, as one very small box contains Gum only. The enclosed feathers are new to me, they are from the Bird of the Ostrich kind, sent to Lord Sydney in Spirits.
[In margin] a new species of Cassawary
I beg my respectfull Comps to the Ladys & have the honor to be with great esteem
Dear Sir Your Obliged Humble Servant
