Savannah 3d. Aug. 1817.

Dear Sir

I have expected some time a return of the
box. I have an Intention shortly to move into
the Country. It will therefore be best to send them
to You, before I move. Should be glad to know
if you want any more Drawings before I enter
into any other engagement. Or if the Charlestown
Library would take them, as I have now 104 finished
for a 2d Vol. If you take any more please to
send me the Numbers of each in the Corner, that I
may not mistake in sending what you have already got
and that I may send the Notes to each, to Illustrate
the history of each Insect. I conclude with my
respectful esteem. And remain dear Sir

Your hble. Servt {humble Servant}
John Abbot Sendr.
