Sydney July 22d 1819 Revd & Dear Sir, It is said the Surry will sail this day, I have therefore closed all the Concerns of the Society up to this day, and the Salaries of the Settlers up to the 1th of Augs. I have given Credit for the Sums Messrs Carlisle and Gordon were indebted to the Society, so as finally to settle all the Accounts to prevent any Confusion— Previous to my sailing I will close the Account of the present outfit of the Settlers, and mechanics, who accompany me and Mr Butler, &c to New Zealand in the General Gates. The Balance I have drawn for by this Conveyance is £582. 10s. 1d. which I hope you will find correct— I have the Honor to be Sir Yours very sincerely Saml Marsden Revd J. Pratt
