Folios 205-206: James Nash, Regulating Officer, Leith Is sending a letter from Lieutenant Gourly now on HMS Texel, who was employed pressing fishermen men and is applying for expenses as he was often so far from home.

Campbell of Osnabrugh Customs House Beig asking to be paid for provisions although Campbell never wanted any money from him so Gourly omitted to take any written release from him although he did settle with him for his mess bills. He is out of pocket already because of the long land journeys he has had to make so he asks for some expenses.

Folios 210-211: enclosure with folios 207-208. Letter dated 20 February 1805 by Alex Pearson, North Frederick Street, to Lieutenant Gourly. From the papers given him by the Campbell family it appears that money is owed for subsistence from 9 August 1803 to 11 June 1804.
