had only a few Boxes of Plants which Mr. Brown left here. On my recommending to him to send home some when a good opportunity offered I found he would not admit me to interfere in his plans, & knowing it to be your wish I should not do it, I left him with assurances he should have whatever assistance he wanted when he chose to go into the interior. We have found two Bails of Brown paper which came in the Duke of Portland directed to Govr.

with great regard Very
faithfully Yours
