I have the pleasure to acquaint you the invaluable Collection of Plants arrived from the Providence this morning: & I trust will be safely lodged in His Majestys Garden by 10 oClock. I shall immediately set about arranging the Plants in the B. Bay House & in that kind of order you instructed me on to do  & where they will remain till such time as I receive your further directions.

I have the honor to be
Sir your ever obliged & Humb Serv
