The pork was found on the Island and will I think make soap grease. I have a special reason for sending it off, whether is good for anything or not. Perhaps the purchasers of some pork left in the wreck of the "Growler" may try to claim it but the "Growler" pork was branded. "Baltimore Nov 1849", this is not so marked. The Oil, Skins [in?] & are Island production.
