Revd and Dear Sir
	I have written a Letter to Mr Hunt of Bristol recommending him and the friends of Richard Stockwell to try what they can do for him by again petitioning Government. Should Mr Hunt forward the Petition to you, I have to request you will if possible get it presented thro’ respectable hands. Richard Stockwell is with me and when we could [f] get no person to assist the Smith to strike the Sledge Hammer he readily volunteered his Services. He is very usefully employed and much respected by the Natives and I am perfectly satisfied with his general conduct since he has been with me.
And am
Revd and Dear Sir
Yours faithfully
Tho Kendall
