Cowes Wednesday
Dear and honoured Sir.

I am gone to the Ship with all the Baggage. And do not see any occasion of my returning hither, more expecialy as I think it probable you will go direct to the mother Bank from Southampton. It you should not, this will let you know that there is nothing to do, here. I think if you come in you had better keep your Boat with all on board ’till you come on the Ship. Mr. Arnold the Collector and the Comptroller have been very civil and deserve Thanks. I am as ever your &c.

J Williams
