Isle Sable 23rd July 1804

Sir,

I hope my letter will find you & family well, and agreeable to your desire I here Inform you that I have Rec'd the contents of your bill of lading from on board of Henery Wrexford and Inclosed herein I send you a bill of lading of the fish and Some Rigging which I have put on board of Captain Wrexford likewise, together with an Anchor I have nothing particular to Communicate to you, but that Mr. Morris is not arrived here as yet, Which gives a good deal of throuble, no material Event has happened here as yet, our Wild Stock on this Island seems to increase pretty much and as for our tame Stock they do very well

I have no more to Say at present, but that, I remain your Most obedient & Very H'ble Serv't.
