- Abstract:
- A very tall thin gentleman with elongated wig and dour expression sits facing left on a block labelled "Stool of repentance" as he pulls a frog apart by its legs. Strapped to him by a belt around the waist is an old long-haired and bearded man, with bows on his shoes and holding a purse marked "empty". On the right, a sailor stands facing the viewer and holding in his hand a club, as he points towards the two men and smiles. Next to him on the ground lies a bag marked "1000 dollars."

- Land grant, manuscript on parchment, originally made to Alonzo Prieto, and awarded after his death to his brother Gonzalo Prieto, following litigation.

Four ships carrying gold and silver were to arrive from Peru to support this. The text refers to places and dates in the years 1535-1536. The end of the document, apparently written when the authorizing signatures were added, gives the location as Valladolid, and the date as 27 February 1537

- Abstract:
- A satire ridiculing the first Nootka Convention in which Spain conceded England's right to maintain outposts in Nootka Sound and engage in whaling outside a "ten-league line" off the Northwest coast of North America. In a small row boat on the Pacific and facing the west coast of North American, Pitt stands fishing with a rod baited with a sack labelled "3 million genl. elc." Beside him in the boat is Henry Dundas holding another sack labelled "million gen. elec" and beside him in the back of the boat, a third sack also labelled "million gen elec." Selected points along the shore from the Sea of Kamtschatka and Bristol Bay (north) to New Mexico are identified with no attempt to convey a sense of scale: Nortons Sound, Alaska, Cooks River, Ps. William Sound, Spanish Land, Nootka or King Georges Sound, New Albion, California. Off the coast of Alaska are shown the islands Arako and Foxes Is. Whales surface above the water inside the buoys with flags reading "10 leagues." In the upper left is a galley "Convention." Pitt says "I fear Harry the fishing will never answer." Dundas replies, "Never mind tha Billy the gudgeons we have caught in England will pay for all."

- Manuscript text of twelve letters from Watkins to his father, Pennoyre Watkins, describing his travels in the Low Countries, France, Spain and Switzerland in 1787.

Versions of Letters 11 and 12 in this manuscript appeared as Letters I and II in the first edition of Travels and Watkins' letters give a full account of places, sights and people encountered on his travels with his friend, George Pocock, and include his horror at the sight of galley slaves in Bordeaux; his dislike of Spanish theater and his "shudder" in the offices of the Inquisition in Barcelona; his admiration of Mont Blanc and Chamonix; and his conclusion that Rousseau's description of the Vallais was "a deception passed upon travellers."
