Dear Sir/
	I will thank you to take the inclosed Letter for me addressed to the Revd J. Pratt— whom I hope you will see on your arrival in London— Any Expences that you may be at in Cloathing &c. for the New Zealanders you will apply to the Society for, who I have no doubt will repay you— I shall feel myself personally obliged to you for any attention you may shew them— Let them be usefully employed while on Board. I wish them particularly not to be idle, as useful Employment will improve them very much, and tend to make them of advantage to their Country in future wishing you a good and safe Voyage I remain
dr Sir
Yours sincerely
Saml Marsden
