Dear Sir/
	The enclosed were brought to me by Mr Andrews, late Surgeon of the Convict Ship the 3 Bees to New South Wales, which was there destroyed by fire— He has been much with William Hall at New Zealand and possesses very interesting information as to the Mission— I have requested him to call upon you—
	William Hall, in a letter to me, requests he may be furnished with a double barreled Gun and a pair of Pistols double barreld, with a belt and Powder & Shot N1, 2, 3— he considers them his only protection in the interior of the country, as the natives dread them more than anything else.
Dear Sir
Yours Sincerely
Tho. Smith
