London June 5th 1860.
Mr. Roderick McFarlane Fort Norman, McKenzies River
Dear Sir
With reference to my letter of the 26th March by the Spring Express I now beg to annex Invoice of 3 packages forwarded to your address by the Honble Companys Ship Prince of Wales containing the various articles requested in your communication of the 1st June 1859, and I trust they will reach you in safety
The winter Packet arrived on the 9th ultimo bringing le[tters fr?]om yourself and other gentl[emen?] attached to the McKenzie River District; I am s[orry?] to be unable to send you the 2 gallons of Claret mentioned in your letter of the 1st July, it being contrary to rule to Ship wine on private account. Should the health of Mr. Nichol Taylor and yourself stand in need of support of this nature, you should make the fact known to the Officer in Charge of the District who I am sure will do all in his power consistent with the regulations of the service to meet your wishes in this matter
The Books sent in the Packet Box were ordered on your behalf in one of Chief Tender[?] Rofs'[?] letters by the Winter Packet. Having closed your

case when the letters arrived I was unable to put them up with the other articles. -
As regards the cost of the Shipment, the Amount ([pounds]20.0.5) will us[?] heretofore be charged to your account with the Fur Trade
I remain Yours faithfully L G[?] Mills
