| Description | Rec[eive]d at Cologne 10 November 1817. Congratulates upon our safe arrival in Holland etc. Thinks Steam Boats will be used for short voyages and that some will be ordered by the admiralty for touring vessels. Peter Price's alterations of the Dublin Steam Packets have not succeeded. Wishes me to write soon to Mr Barrow respecting the Congo Steam Engine. Thinks Sir David Mylne will recommend them for the Canadian Lakes. Regrets not having been able to accompany us. |
