I had left the above space vacant, for the purpose of attempting
something in the way of a Drawing, but I can make
nothing of it.

A little short of the Extremity of the first Link stands
a Half Octagon Platform about 4 1/2 above the Rowers
Seats; on this my Brother stands to give orders with
a Speaking Trumpet, of which you may imagine
there is some need as the length of the whole Barge
is above a quarter as long again as that of your
Garden. A Semi circular Rail covered with Scarlet
Cloth & standing on three Pillars rising from the
Platform serves for his support; fronting this Platform
at the other end of the Barge is a Platform somewhat similar
for the same purpose.

The 3.d 4.th & 5.th Link being left out the 1.st 2.d & 6.th
form a princely rowing Boat; in that case Her Majesty
may seat herself on a Sopha towards the Stern formed
X of a neat kind of platted work of red edged with —
Chocolate colour, (the Colour of Wedgwood's Ware) with
Cushions of Stuffed Leather.

I wish you may be able to make anything of this
general Description, for Drawing I have neither Skill
not Instruments. It cost my Brother three days hard
labour to make a Representation of it in paper
something between a Model and a Drawing to give the
Prince
