[5] If you are acquainted with the Numbers of the different Bales that was
[6] Unfortunately damaged on Board Your Ship; & know the Number that was sent to
[7] Bussorah by mistake belonging to the Duncan; I will thank you to let me know _
[8] that is if you wish to have those that are here belonging to your Ship in their room
[9] They are all ready for sending on Board, but as the price of the articles are both
[10] the same I should suppose it could make no manner of difference; & indeed I asked Aga
[11] Mahomed Nibie if it would; He said by no means _
[12] I have wrote to Mr Manesty about it; but if you wish
[13] to have those that are here I will send them on board
