Sir
I arrived yesterday from Jamaica and should have instantly paid my respects to you had not Mr. Campbell told me you were not to return from the country untill Thursday. I have heard the flattering news of your great goodness to me, intending to honor me with the Command of the Vessel which you propose to go to the South Seas, for which, after offering you my most gratefull thanks, I can only assure you I shall endeavor and I hope succeed in deserving such a trust. I wait your commands and am with the sincerest respect
Sir Your much obliged: and very Hmble Servant Wm Bligh
