Papers wanting for passing
Investigator's accounts

      Victualling Office 15^th November 1810

Sir

      We received your Letter of the _ins^t
and in reply acquaint you that your accounts
as Commander and Purser of His Majesty's Sloop
Investigator between the 26^th January 1801, and
the 26 May 1802 are stated in this Office,
and at present are stopping for ^ ^{want of} some
Vouchers, which your Agent has promised to
procure; but for the subsequent period
ending in 1803, when you state that the
Ship was condemned at Port Jackson, it
does not appear that any papers have been
delivered into this Office for paƒsing the same

      We are
          Sir
          Your most humble Servants
