Tippoona. 3 July 1815 Revd and Dear Sir, I have had the pleasure of receiving a Letter from you by the Brig Trial Captain Hovel bearing date August 18th 1814 in which you mention having sent some Magazines and Volumes of the Church Missionary register which are not come to hand. Some loose copies of the Register for the Months of March April May June and July 1814— have been forwarded to us by Mr Marsden. I hope you will always direct our parcels to the care of the Revd Mr Cowper Sydney, and any thing that we may think more useful in the Colony of New South Wales than here I shall not fail to return it. The Societys Library is safe and in good condition. Mr Marsden informs me you are going to send us a Clergyman, and adds that he has instructions from the Committee to send out more settlers from New South Wales. We have [f] I am sorry to say already too many settlers of the latter description and as soon as their services can possibly be dispensed with they must return to their home. I hope some truly pious characters will be sent out by the Society. Men who will be willing to drop every idea of self interest and lay themselves out for the real good of the Settlement and to promote those important objects with which it is immediately connected. Worldly minded men have not patience enough to bear the rude behaviour of the uncultivated heathen. A Clergyman will be a great acquisition. I am sorry to say that I and Mr Hall cannot agree in our opinions. He did not tell the Committee the whole of his mind when he came out. In many of his proceedings his private Interests preponderate in his estimation. He says he has cleared three hundred pounds per Annum at New South Wales. This is a great temptation for him to return thither again. I am pleading with him as well as I can— [f] Mr Hall and Mr King will write by this conveyance. My dutiful regards to the Committee and kind respects to all enquiring friends from Revd & Dear Sir Your faithful Servant Thos Kendall I have requested you in a former letter to send out a Years Salary by way of Investment – We want articles of apparel &ca & ca. Please to send a Grose or two of combs for the Hair – for the Natives – We never received any Letter dated March 18, 1814 please to send by what Ship you sent it. No Registers for Decr 1813 – Jan & Feb. 1814
