Sydney June 12th 1819
My Dear Sir,
	I have sent Mr Kendalls manuscripts by the Bearer Mr Fapp who I am sure will deliver them safe to you on his arrival— I have also sent by the same Vessel a Packet of Letters by Mr Watson M[aste]r of the Foxhound which I [hope] will arrive safe— Should Mr Fapp return to this Colony which is his present Intention he will take charge of any thing you may wish to send. I forgot to mention in my Letters a Bale of Slops which are wanted for the Crew of the Active, with Cordage and Canvass. I paid nine Pounds a Bolt for the last Canvass I purchased for the Sails. I should wish a Supply of Slops Canvass and Cordage annually sent out and charged to my Account for the Active. Those Articles sometimes cannot be [f] procured and they are often very high— Nine Pounds a Bolt for Canvass is immensely high but I was compelled to pay this Sum or keep the Vessel in the Harbour. No doubt but Mr Kendall and the Settlers will write by the Whalers. They well [sic] all well in April and had every prospect of doing well.
I remain
Revd. & Dear Sir,
Yours affectionately
Saml. Marsden
