Kiddee Kiddee Octr 20 1823
Dear Sirs,
	In order to remedy as much as possible the inconvenience and trouble which has hitherto been experienced in making out the account of the Expenses of the Mission, I have drawn up the enclosed Form for your guidance—
	The advantages of having the accounts stated in the most simple, clear and regular manner will be very great. This will be a satisfaction to the Missionaries themselves, a relief to the Society’s agent in New South Wales— and an acceptable as well as necessary document for the Committee at Home, as it will enable the managing Committee to see at one view the Annual expenses of the Mission —
	You will therefore be governed by this Form in making out the Public Accounts in future untill it is approved of by the Society or a better is furnished from the Parent Committee
I am
Dear Sirs
Your Obedient Servant
signed  Samuel Marsden
Agent of the Church
Missionary Society [f]
