                      Huntingdon 26th April 1805

Sir,

     I have just received an answer from Mr. Franklin of the Bellerophon respecting the pieces of Ship timber found upon the Coral Reef a Copy of which I transmit upon the other side.

      I perceive by the papers that Sir Chas Middleton is appointed 1st Lord of the Admiralty and trust his liberality will extend farther towards me, than that of his Predecessor.

       My Father & Mother write in both respects to Mrs, Miss Banks, & yourself;  with,

Sir,
Your much obliged & Hble Servt.

Robert Fowler

P.S.

     The names of those people mention'd in his letter you will find by refering to the Memorandum you took down.

April 29.
