Speke 18. Dec. 1820
Rev.d and Dear Sir
		As the Chiefs sit down at Table with the Cabin passengers (for in fact there is no other place for them) and occasionally drink wine &c. I think it would be right to pay Capt.n Macpherson the same for them as he is paid for other passengers – Shunghee & Waikato will then enjoy the benefit of the cabin fire & be comfortable & satisfied I wish you would have the goodness to arrange matters with the Captain as well as you can.
		I have now in hand ?4. s 8. d6 which was not deducted out of the 27 with the sum of two pounds which I received of the Clerk at Billingsgate – the other day. I shall send the account of our Expences before we sail & deduct the same [?] from the above
I am Revd & Dear Sir
Your very obed serv. Tho Kendall
