Sir,
Having a Bro® who lives near new York in north America, who
annually enriches my Cabinet with the productions of that Country, if
it it wou’d be agreeable to you 1 wou’d send you a few Birds & inseets,
which I believe are not in your Sys. Natae & which he kill’d within 50
miles 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 over.
Mr: Ellis1 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.
Orford, June y® 29*^ 1771.
