  <dc:title>Draft letter from Joseph Banks to Charles Jenkinson, 1st Earl of Liverpool</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Banks suggests it would be better sending a vessel from England rather than to use transport from Botany Bay to obtain Bread-fruit for the West Indies [Caribbean], as fitting-out for so special a purpose can be done better in England.  Banks goes on to describe the type of ship and the complement of men necessary; sketches the route and season for the expedition and suggests the gardener should be David Nelson, as he sailed with Captain Cook and has all the necessary experience</dc:description>
