368 APPENDIX. 



I have drawn the Likeness of the Foumart, 

 for the purpose that I spoke of to you,* and have 

 cut several other kinds of Fig s of Animals, the 

 Proof prints of which I will shew you the next 

 Time I am in the Country I am rather suspicious 

 that I have not represented the otter, upon your 

 Box, so well and exactly as it ought to be, but 

 as I never saw one alive, or any thing that coud 

 give me the true Idea of that Creature, but the 

 stuffd Skin of yours I coud not do it better 



I am

 DR. BROTHER, 



I am happy to inform you that I have got 

 safe to London, and in good Health bless God, 

 after an agreable passage of about 6 Days. 



We sail'd about \ past 1 1 O'Clock on the Sun- 

 day morning after I left Newcastle ; in company 

 with about 40 Sail, It blow'd pretty fresh so that 

 we were well heav'd a going over the barr but I 

 did not get a puke, tho I was rather sick all the 

 afternoon for I kept much upon Deck. the remain- 

 ing part of the voyage was quite calm & pleasant 

 I was highly pleas' d with the beautifull Country
