Dear Sir

many thanks for y^r favor. M^r Gough has sent my parcels to M^r White. But let me entreat you to send the Box of minerals shells &c independent of M^r anybody that they may come to me free & un-rummaged. Pray send them by sea to M^r White: & as shells are brittle I beg care may be taken in package; & that all may be packed very tight. Thanks for all other kind intentions.

I am Dear Sir
much y^rs
