Sir, 



Having a Bro^ who lives near new York in north America, who 

 annually enriches my Cabinet with the productions of that Gountry, if 

 it it wou'd be agreeable to you I wou'd send you a few Birds & insects, 

 which I believe are not in your Sys. Nat^^ & which he killM within 50 

 railes of that place. 



From Liverpoole I can send them to Stockholm, if you will let me 

 know to whose care there you wou'd have them address'd, if you do 

 not write soon the season for ships sailing for Stockholm, for this sum- 

 mer will be över. 



Mr: Ellis ^ telling me he always wrote to you in English, encou- 

 rage'd me to do it. but if French is more agreeable to you my next 

 shall be in that Language. 



from Sir your most Obedient 



Humble Servant 

 Anna Blackburne. 



P: S. 

 please to write to me by the Post, & direct it to Mrs: Blackburne 

 at Orford near warrington Lancashire England, and I shall be sure to 

 get it. 



if you favour me with an answer, pray let me know whether I 

 directed my letter properly or not.
