left, to the mercy of the Goats - Among the Flowering Shrubs for Ocean, are The Double Camelia, red, white and strip'd - the last, is the most beautiful rose, I ever saw. The Tõküne - The Yuglãn - The redish Peach color'd , I have never yet seen - tho' tis in the province of Honham. Cõculus Indicus, or Dwarf  Plantain &c.

Mr Browne will give me every assistance, and I shall certainly require it, as I am fully bent, on making as full and complete Drawings, of all the Chinese flowering Plants & Shrubs, as our situation and information will admit of, As that is the bar that has all along been in my way - but in my next shall speak more fully - 

My most respectful Compliments, wait on  My Lady Banks - I remain with Esteem and Regards
Dear Sir - Your Obliged Servant
Alex. Duncan
