Summarised as 'Mr. Westbeck's letter on Södertälje Canal'. Original letter is in Swedish, with the translation apparently completed by its transporter, Andrew Gibbs. Concerns Westbeck's own observations of sea levels in Sweden, Westbeck apologies for 'scrawl' written as Gibbs is proceeding under sail, and 'I have committed these lines to paper with a trembling hand'.
