Sydney 19th 1821
Revd and Dear Sir
	I duly received your favour of the 13th Inst and in reply thereto, I beg to express my readiness, at any future time, to render any assistance in my power to further the objects of the Church Missionary Society in promoting the knowledge of the Redeemer.
	Your experience, and cooler judgment prepared you for what has occurred. But I am constrained to own that I am greviously [sic] disappointed. And I regret the more because 
To the Revd S. Marsden
Parramatta [f]
it has caused a schism among the four that should be united. It however proves that human nature, even when we hope it is sanctified, is too much governed by passion, and prejudice; when we ought to watch over our very thoughts with a Godly jealousy.
	A wound is not pleasing from an enemy; But to suffer in the house of our friends is very painful.
	Hoping, and praying, that the Lord the Spirit will give you wisdom to direct you in all your undertakings in the Christian cause and support you in every conflict to which you may be called.
I remain
Revd & Dear Sir
Yours very affectionately
Richard Hill
