offer you their unanimous and cordial acknowledgements for the uniform
attention they have received on their outward bound passage. The good
sailing qualities of your ship, the perfect freedom from all annoyances, the

safe conclusion of their voyage.
Desirous, therefore, that the sense they entertain of your attention

piece of Plate, which will be forwarded to you by Messrs. GORDON & Co, and
with every wish for your future success, they subscribe themselves,
