Content Description

He wrote from China, but has beaten the letter back he is sure. He managed to live very elegantly on board and had an agreable passage. He asks that Chambers handle a business matter. He sends by Tom Bevan to Mr Elliot two cannisters of cotton with a machine for extracting the seeds. The indigo seed will come by Mr Bradley Blake. He is glad to have restored the company's affairs.
