Letter from Sir Thomas Pasley to Matthew Flinders (1 of 2) (FLI01)


                Bellerophon Spithead June 3d 1791


Dear Flinders


          I am favored with your letter on your
return from visiting your friends in the Country
and am pleased to hear that you are so well
satisfied with your situation on board the
Providence – I have little doubt of your gaining
the good opinion of Capt. Bligh if you are equally
attentive to your Duty there as you were in the
Bellerophon – All that I have to request in
return for the good offices I have done you, is,
that you never fail writing me by all poƒsible
opportunitys [sic] during your Voyage and that in
your letters you will be very particular and
circumstantial in regard to every thing, and
place you may chance to see, or Visit, with
your own observations therein – do this my


young friend, and you [sic] most aƒsured that my
good offices will not be wanting some future
day for your advancement. All on board
here are well – present my kind remembrances
to Captain and Mrs Bligh and believe me
            Yours very sincerely
                    Thos Pasley


P.S.
When do expect
to sail from Deptford?
