Letter received by Banks from David Maclean of the CustomsHouse, 5 May 1794 (Series 72.071) - No. 0001

[Page 1]

Sir,

I have the honor to Deliver with this, The seeds which you had advice of coming from Colonel Murry;  it Seems that by the Colonel's desire, the two Baskets were tied together, & put under the care of the Chief mate; you will therefore receive one Basket apparently, instead of two, but the original contents of both, are in it.

The Worcester is come to Longreach, and I have such a person down there for the growing plants, mentioned in your Last Letters.

I am
Sir,
your most obedient
humble Servant,

 D. Maclean

5th. May 1794.
