Memorandum
Be so good as to send a few second Hand Anvils ther will answer well. Some Hammers and other Smith’s Tools, with Vices. A pious Smith would be a great Acquisition or edge tool maker at the Seminary at Parramatta or in New Zealand. One in each Place would be an invaluable Advantage. One or two might be got I should imagine in Birmingham, or Sheffield. Axes and Hoes are the principal Articles wanted yet. I requested Mr Kendall to purchase for the Active some whaling Gear* for the use of the Active, and to draw upon you for the amount, which must be charged to the use of the Vessel, and to m y Account. It will be of Importance now to employ the Active wholly upon the Coast as the natives to the South of the East Cape are acquainted with our views towards them, and no danger is now to be [f] apprehended to the Vessel or Crew. All I wish is to obtain some thing that will lessen the expenses of the Vessel. The duties upon the Timber and the Port Feels [sic] at Port Jackson are very heavy and every Expense while in the Harbour. I inclose three Receipts for Fees and Port Charges upon the Haweis only 75 Tons which amount to more than £20. I want to keep the Active from the Colony as much as possible, and would if I could keep her altogather at the Bay of islands— If she should succeed in procuring Oil, she need only come once in a year for Supplies. All the Supplies for the School, and Settlement togather with the Goods sent out from you were forwarded by the Active the last time she sailed, so that their wants will all be met. The Revd G. Burder can inform you how their mission succeeds at the Islands. The Change is wonderful and will not be credited in England.
