Providence 16 Aug 1793

Dear Sir

I have sent to you a Bottle of Powder valuable for People afflicted with illness of any kind and a letter addressed to you concerning its application and efficacy - I only saw the Proprietor.

Also a Quiver of Arrows from Tahiti as I imagine the Ladies may wish to try them in the Country.

I have seen your Broker at the Custom house and the Wines must be petitioned for with my affidavit they are for private use, which shall be done as soon as required.

I am Dear Sir
Your ever affectionate Hble Servant 
Wm Bligh

Sir Joseph Banks Bart

Pray excuse this scrap of Paper
