Swinton writes to state that a carriage and harnesses (to fit two horses) have been dispatched to Ibrahim Khan, Governor of Kirman [Kerman], on board the ship Eliza . Swinton finishes by stating that a duplicate of the letter will be delivered to Bruce by Captain Woodhead of the Eliza . A postscript from Swinton requests Bruce use this letter in place of one of the same date (folio 14), which contains a mistake, naming the wrong ship used to dispatch the carriage and harnesses.
