My dear Friend

I have no letters from you by this mail.  One may come however by the Southampton Bags, and I do not know that I have anything myself to communicate to you save that [indecipherable] have [indecipherable] to forward you by M.S.S. if no other offer [indecipherable] should present itself 5 ½ chests of Darjeeling Tea.  *  

The [indecipherable] charge of the gardeners

The Honble
Sir William Macarthur, M.L.C.
&c &c &c

* They will probably be despatched in Mary.

[In cross-hatched writing]
have been made up, also I [indecipherable] I have a house full of guests, among them an [indecipherable] & [indecipherable] Onslow.  Alex left us yesterday.  Col. Onslow is very ill again.  I do not think that he can last much longer.  With warm love to the ladies, Arthur generally & the Bairns.

Ever yr. affecte. old friend
