Transport Office; Deptford 25h: August 1820.— Sir, In reply to your letter of the 23d: Inst. I beg to acquaint you, the stores for the Missionaries of New Zealand, were reported for the “Deck”; but I have since communicated the wishes of your Committee, to the Navy Board, and have informed them, they can be received on board the “Medway” instead of the “Deck”. and I expect she may be full three Weeks, before she will be ready to Sail – should any of the Articles be of a heavy Nature, such as may be ready, I should wish it be shipped as early as convenient. I am Sir Your Most Obedt Servant Mr Young G.E. Sargeant Esqr
