Dec.r 12th. 1820
My dear friend/
Having heard that Major General Sir Thomas Brisbane has been appointed Governor of New South Wales, I felt it to be my duty to avail myself of a very slight acquaintance which I had with him, to commend to his favourable consideration the Rev.d Samuel Marsden, & the cause in which has been so zealously & suc=cessfuly engaged: for this purpose I took the liberty of sending him the Volume of the Missionary Register for 1816 in which are detailed Mr. Mars=den’s
proceedings in New Zealand
–
I send you on the other leaf a copy of the note
which I received in answer, which I think will be gratifying to you & the Committee
–
I understand that the General proceeds from Cork to London in a very few days; & if you consider it necessary to address him either by letter of deputation, you need not take any notice of this communication. I merely send it as an encouraging proof that the whole cause this, is opening the hearts of many to take an interest in its progress. Sir Thomas is a very active, intelligent Officer
–
fond of scientific pursuits
–
particularly Astronomy
–
very bene=volent
–
with a great respect for religion, & most regular in attending its ordinances
–
With sincere wishes for your personal welfare & the prosperity of our common cause,
Believe me
y.rs
years
in the fellowship
of the faith
Henry Irwin
Glentown
Dec.r 9th. 1820
Dear Sir
I was favoured by your obliging letter of the 4th. only yesterday morning, they leave to assure you that every protection I can possible afford the Rev.d Samuel Marsden shall at all times be bestowed on him, & I shall further exert all the means in my power to promote his zealous & laudable labours
–
I feel much indebted to you for the Missionary Register you were so kind as to send me, & the articles respecting him I have read with a great degree of interest, & I should hope there is no officer in Command at a remote station that would be found to withhold his support from so true a zealot in the cause of Christianity & I remain with much esteem
Your most faithful servant
Tho.s Brisbane
Rev.d [? ?]
