Bay of Islands Jany 20 1816
Revd and Dear Sir
    I shall esteem it a favor if you will send me a Stout Bell which will serve for the purpose of the School & calling the People to Prayers upon the Sabbath Day. I could also wish to have the Portraits of Mr Wilberforce Mr Woodd & two or three of the Heads of the Society as also of the King. These I could put up in a room which I intend to have fitted up for the Society’s Library, and to which all the Settlers can have access. A few Prints containing Implements of Husbandry Animals &c would be useful to shew the Natives. [f] You could send the Frames for the Portraits & I could procure the Glass at Port Jackson. I am very much in want of some good Letter paper, I do not know what is contained in the Stationary at Port Jackson. I wish you would send me directions from some Physician how to treat the venereal disease— I have not yet heard of the Medicines, Burns fracture, &c &c.
    If the Active proceeds from hence to Otaheite the next Voyage you may perhaps not hear from me for some time. I have it in contemplation if it pleases God to spare me until another year to purchase some articles out of my salary [f] which will be very useful in the Settlement. I think if a Missionary comes out shortly he ought to be instructed a little in the Art of Printing, perhaps I might be able to lend him some assistance. I should have no objection to contribute Thirty Pounds towards a small Printing Press & ca if the Society would bear the rest.
    I have directed some enquiry to be made after the Success of my Successor in Great Quebec Street. I mean to make him a small present if he has suffered materially by his bargain.
     Be pleased to enclose an order for two Pounds in the Letter addressed to Joseph Quickfall Kimmington Lincolnshire, & I will take care to repay it. And am
Revd & Dear Sir
Your faithful Ser[van]t
Tho Kendall
