Revd S. Marsden's Memorandum to Mr Kermode Mr Butler will give Mr Kermode for the Church Missionary Society a Wooden Spatulla with which the head chiefs Wife was digging her Potatoe ground amidst her Slaves, when the Revd Messrs Marsden and Butler visited the potatoe Gardens of her husband, whose name is Shungee, althoalthough she is a Woman of the first rank in New Zealand and quite Blind yet she was labouring as hard as any common Slave. Mr Marsden desires Mr K to say to the Revd Mr Pratt that finding his wants less than he expected, he has drawn only for £300 and not for £700 as advised in a former letter. That he does not intend to draw on that account any further Sum untilluntil he hears from the Society – Mr Kermode will reserve any letters, instructions, written or verbal
from Mr Pratt to Mr Marsden on the subject of either the Active or the Expenditure at New Zealand or New South Wales.
