Dear Sir

In the absence of any favor from you by the last two incoming Mails, I beg to say that I have shipped 1 box or case to your care, & addressed to your Father (Mr Wm Munday) & herewith enclose the Bill of Lading for the same; the case was shipped on board the "Highflyer" which left this port on the 25th May. I have paid the Freight; I shall now proceed to inform you of the contents of the Case—(Viz)

Ring & Broach for your mother

Gold albert for yourself

Workbox for sister Anna Maria

Broach & Ear Rings for Adelaide

Glove Box with A.M. on top for Louisa

There are sundry other things in the case which we thought you might like.

I shall enclose you an invoice of what the contents of the case are worth, for your guidance with the Customs. All the articles have been in use with your late Brother James, & his Wife & the customs ought not to charge much duty, of any.

I have also enclosed in the Case the Exemplification of his Will, the registers of his & Alice's Marriage, & the register of his death, his Indentures, his Masters Certificate,
