My Lord, 
*' With reference to my letter of the 
8th of March 1810, communicating having engaged a per- 
son to go in search, and ascertain the fate of the late Mr. 
Mungo Park ; I have the honour to communicate to Your 
Lordship, that this person returned to Senegal on the 1st 
of September ; but I am concerned to state that his infor- 
mation confirms the various reports of Mr. Park's death. 
*' I have enclosed a copy of the Journal of the person 
whom I sent, which was kept in Arabic, and has been 
translated into English by a person resident in Senegal. 
" Isaaco has been paid the promised reward, which I 
hope Avill be approved by your Lordship, 
I have the honour to be. 
My Lord, 
Your Lordship's most obedient 
humble Servant, 
C. W. MAXWELL. 
Governor.''
