Dear Sir
Sydney Augt 25th 1801
By the Albion I have sent you the Boxes marked as P [per] margin which I do not doubt you will receive in very good condition; and if I have sent you a pack of unacceptable rubbish
[margin note] Two Boxes
I hope my ignorance will be repaid by the things Coll Paterson & Cayley will forward to you by this same Conveyance - I have also sent in the Albion a Box of Warratah's & the earth is sowed with the seed. They are in the Care of Mr Balmain principal surgeon of this Colony who has been here since its first settling & who will have the honor of delivering this to you - I hope the Misfortunes of the Porpoise will not prevent you from making one more trial about the Hops - I think it might be accomplished by the Whalers -
[margin note] *belongs to Champions
If the Albion or the person who commands her comes out again, I am sure he will take every care of them - do not you think by fitting them in small Boxes in a [indecipherable] [Curved?] Box like that the Warratars goes home in that it would do? I think it might - I have sent the Charts in the Duke of Portland Box - In their Roll is as well one undirected it is meant for Mr Chas Greville from his protege Barrellier - Should my Agent find any difficulty in getting my full salary I have desired him to request your kind assistance
