to forward to me the letters you tell me you sent there.
I directed all these parcels to Ld Shelburne in hopes
that the contents would be less rummaged & damaged in the

The copper ones from these parts and the whole of these
from Nerchuisk & Barnaoul are still on their way
here. It is therefore by the small collections abovementioned
only that you can judge of my treasures. You have
however magnets enough I hope. On espere que si vous n'avez

et moi comme un imbicile je vous ai envoye toute ma
portion d'attraits. Je incu appercois helas trop tard!
