My Dear Sir
   I am favoured with your Letter respecting Mr Kendall & as I shall not be in Town at present, & as Mr Wilberforce is much better known to Lord Bathurst than I am I sent it to Mr W—. However I would just remark, that in our conversation with Lord Bathurst there was no promise of Rations to Mr Kendall or Mrs K for three years but only of such rations & other advantages as were usual in like cases & a grant of Land as a Settler, but not promises of stocking the Land but something was implied if not directly said by Ld. B against stocking it. [f]
I remain
My dear Sir
Yours very sincerely,
T. Babington
