We were much obliged to you for your account of Mr Wm Carlisle, & Mr Chas Gordon; and are much gratified that you should have been able to find such men in New South Wales, who were willing to join our New Zealand Mission. We gladly receive them. Many thanks for the attention which you have paid to this Mission, & the help which you have afforded to Mr Marsden. We have written to him generally respecting the Mission, & your joint letters to us. The continuance of the assistance of your advice in, & watching over, this infant Mission, will greatly oblige the Committee. We are anxious also that the seminary at Parramatta should if it be practical without giving offence embrace the education of New Hollanders as well as the New Zealanders. We should be glad, while attending to the distant Islands of New Zealand, to give some care also to the Natives of New Holland. We doubt not that the Bounty of the British Christians will enable us more & more to extend our Missions. We are dear Sir Very affectionately Y[ou]rs (Signed Josiah Pratt Edw[ar]d Bickersteth Hocken Archive Reference Number MS-0056/075 33MB image/tif 6.0 Uncompressed MD5 8e2015c779c04e59913bd39cba9aa82f ACEMC 2604 4542 RGB manuscript Hakena MS-0056/075 202 mm 321 mm 2014:04:02 08:23:58.34 University of Otago Library, Reprographics Unit digital still camera Canon Canon EOS 6D 11.0 1 Manual 0220 1 11.0 6.9 1.4 Multi-segment tungsten flash did not fire 50.0 mm (35 mm equivalent: 62.8 mm) 0 Subject is illuminated from the front side.
