Samuel Shepherd's letters

Guana Key 2nd April 1836
Sir
Yours of this days date I received, I have ???? the letters and return them Mr. W. Latham, I am sorry you did not arrive previous to my brothers leaving there, he could have given you such information as you require, I think that by applying to Captn. Humphries he will be able to do the same. If the day is fine on Monday I'll send my canoe down, do me the favour to come up in her and spend a day, my accomodions are very bad but that I hope youll excuse
I am Sir Y(ou)r very o(bedien)t s(ervan)t

Sir
According to promise I send my canoe for you and your son, do me the favour and come up in her. I would have gone down in her myself but business prevents me from doing so,
Yr very obt st
