Dear Sir
The Boxes to your addres [address] aboard the Albion are a large Box from Cayley [Caley] lashed up with rope made from Hemp cultivated here.
One containing a good specimen of Coal.
Another with a sample of the Iron ore you required & some sulpher from the Coal River with your letter.
It is covered with Woollen & covers [?] made here, & lashed with the Rope of the Colony - but the latter is by no means abundant altho great quantities of it may be raised.
May I request the favor of your showing my letter to you of this date to my friend Admiral Phillip & Mr. John King as they are friends I should wish might see it if you see no impropriety in it - and I hope
