On board the Fanny

Feby 4th 1820

Sir,

I enclose you the embarkation return of my party. I kept as near to the original return as possible, to keep quite to it was impossible as I had no control over the head of the families and a man might promise this week and decline the next. We expect to sail any tide.

I have the honor to be

Most obed'ly yours

Thos. BUTLER
