        went on shore at six again
        and came off with the tug
5       boat at twelve and in about
        an hour and a half we weighed14
        anchor and proceeded on our
        voyage. Donald Campbell came
        from Helensburgh15 in a small
10    boat, [and] brought with him
        a p[ai]r of drawers [and] two semets16
        wh[ic]h I had forgotten and
        the sketch of Helensburgh
        wh[ic]h I had not forgotten
15    as I told Mother17 I had
        no place to put it, how-
        ever she sent it off,
        so I have got it hung
        up in the cabin and

        to keep it from rocking.
        I will make a box for it
