I would recommend you to procure if you can some Bibles, Testaments, Tracts &c for the Revd Mr Cowper of Sydney who will distribute them to advantage. He 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 with which I was furnished when I left England. I have [f] heard the Female Orphans repeat the Introduction &c very correctly. Be pleased to enclose for me at least 10 Copies of the Missionary Register for New Zealand. The remaining 40 you had better send to Mr Cowper Sydney who will supply the diff[eren]t Clergymen &c in the Colony— I will thank you for a large Octavo Prayer Book. To prevent Mistakes after my arrival at New Zealand be pleased to send me an Account of any thing you may send for us “directed to the care of Mr Marsden or any one else.” We shall be very much in [need] of a Pious Black Smith. He would do well at New [Zealand]. I trust I, Messrs Hall & King shall agree very well, I shall do all I can to promote harmony & peace. I shall embrace every opportunity of acquainting you how we go on— I bless God I am much better in health than when I first embarked for New Zealand. My family are also well— I am Revd & Dear Sir Your faithful Serv[an]t Tho Kendall P.S. Never mind the watch ) if you have not sent it ) I am not anxious about it. )
