I am eetreamly sensible of the honour done me by your Royal Society of Arts and Science, in admitting me one of its honorary member, and I beg they would accept my thankful acknowledgements. I wish it may be in my Power in any degrees to promote the desseign of their very laudable institution. I shall be able however to communicate to the New World the lights they may furnish by the publication of their memoirs, and as I am on the point of returning to my country, if I can there be useful to any of the members by information respecting our natural history, or by sending Specimens, Seeds, or in any other manner, it will give me preat pleasure.

With great regard I have the honour of being Sir your most obedient and most humble servant
