Letter from Captain George Back to William Porden Kay, including on sending of sketch book, enquiring about Henry Kay and his own lack of success in fishing and shooting Arrival of sketch book safely, presumably on day Kay's mother got his letter; Back sent it to Ingoldmells, but is not sure exactly where it is now. Thanks for offer to send letter by Back to H.M.S. Chanticleer, but he has not received anything from any of the men on board, so does not see need to send one himself; if Kay is sending one to his brother [Henry Kay], Back to be mentioned kindly and asks to know how he likes his profession. Pained to hear of Kay's mother's indisposition, with hope she is better. Glad Kay's sister has benefitted her health by being at Portsmouth, which he had not known about. Back's lack of success in taking part in fishing and shooting. 4 Sep 1828
