Pounds in debt to my agent I am obliged to avail myself of living on board, notwithstanding the disagreeable situation my family is in from the circumstance of the people around us until we sail, I maintain this only to convey an idea of the disappointment & anxiety I must naturally feel, at our being left, when our being delayed at the Cape after February will certainly be the destruction of the valuable collection you have placed on board her, & which will be such a great acquisition to the Colony - Nothing can be more thriving or in better order than the whole garden is in, and I sincerely hope that we shall be able to preserve it as well as it now is, but I fear it very much if we do not go soon I beg my best respects to Lady Banks & am very respectfully Sir,
Your Obliged & faithful Hble Servt
