Says when he left Canton he received a box of china and a fan that Samuel Shaw, Knox's former aide-de-camp, asked him to forward. Says he should have taken care of it sooner, but he took a ship directly from the West Indies to Boston and had to wait for the goods to arrive in Providence. Says Captain [Thomas] Randall will take care of the arrangements (Randall worked with Shaw). Encloses a letter (not included) to be forwarded to Captain Freeman.
