My Acct with Mr Woodd is closed— so that I cannot give an order upon him for the amount— Mr Wm Hall has drawn upon Mr Marsden. I am sorry I troubled you with his affairs, as it would mislead you if you have sent him his Salary by way of Investment. Having had no opportunity of raising money by a School since my arrival in New South Wales and my plan being entirely altered I shall have occasion to draw upon Mr Marsden for a Sum of Money in addition to what the Committee was pleased to allow me. Should it please God to bless my attempt in raising a School at New Zealand I have no doubt but the Society will soon send a Missionary to assist me.— I shall embrace every opportunity of acquainting you with our proceedings— [f] I hope you will not forget to send me some periodical publications as often as you can & a few religious tracts. I shall be happy to hear what is going on in the religious world.— I would recommend you to procure if you can some Bibles, Testaments, Tracts &c for the Revd Mr Cowper of Sydney. He will distribute them to advantage. I have no doubt of the good disposition of Mr Marsden but he has too much of the cares of the world upon him. I feel very much regard for Mr M. and his House. I fear the high commendation from his friends have by drawing his attention too much to such personal matters done him an injury. Mr Cowper pays great attention to the religious instruction of Youth in the Schools at Sydney. He tells me the Children are going on exceeding well with Mr Woodds Catechism. I have heard the Female Orphans repeat the Introduction very correctly. Be pleased to enclose for me at least 10 Copies of the Church Missionary Register— The remaining 40 you had better send to Mr Cowper Sydney— He will supply the diff[eren]t Clergymen in the Colony— I will thank you for a large Octavo Prayer Book. I remain Revd & Dear Sir Your faithful Servt Tho Kendall [f] I also send by the Seringapatam 1 Parcel of Letters &c— in a package belong[in]g to Mr Marsden
