1792, Feb. 4 - David Burton accepted my offer to allow him Twenty Pounds a year for collecting on my account seed specimens &c, he was then on board the Gorgon at Spithead, he died April 13, 1792.

My account with him stands this,
 

April 27, 1794

by desire of D. Burton's Brother, Burton who lives as gardiner with Mr. Boswell who gave me these directions in Soho Square on Monday the 21st of April, 1794 I paid the above sum of £16.14.6 & a bill upon Cox & Greenwood for £30.6, being the amount of Burtons effects sold at Paramatta [Parramatta] to Mr. Dickson of Covent Garden who undertakes that the money shall be paid to the use of his Father & Mother to whom he bequeathd his property by a nuncupatory bill on the 12th of April 1792 in the Presence of Governor Philip.  This would have been settled in time last had not Burton [indecipherable] that his Brother had left a will in the hands of some of his Relations, on Monday last he told me he was sure that was not the case.
