On the 13th I received 30 fine Plants that the Governor on my first Arrival from a request I made to him promised should be got ready for me. I received others also from Mr. Wanjon the whole consisting of Karang bolas, Jambos, Nankas, Breadfruit Chumailah and others of a Fine Tree that bears leaves of a high perfume called Boongah Kanungah. Mr. Wanjon also got me some Seeds for His Majesty's Garden at Kew. The Breadfruit had but very little Roots I therefore think they may fail.
