Reverend Sir,
I have the pleasure of enclosing a packet for you from our mutual friend Mr
Marsden which I received by the Prince Regent
Schooner that return’d here from New Zealand on the 29th last May and since I have received no further accounts from thence, nor has any Convey-ance occurr’d direct for England until the present opportunity of the Ship Tuscan to sail in a few days.__
I have also to enclose the original agreement, I entered into with Mr
William Kermode respecting the Oil and Whale bone which the Brig Active belonging to the Society might procure, of which Vessel’s success at the Derwent for Whale Oil I have received from
Capt.
Captain
Thompson satisfactory account and who had instructions from me to trans-mit you the first Set of the Bill for the amount of the Oil &c. delivered on board the Quayle in terms of my agreement with Mr
Kermode, a form of the Bills I sent to Mr
Thompson and in all probability you may receive the first before this comes to hand as I understand Mr Kermodes Vessel proceeds to Liverpool direct from the Derwent:-
The Saracen arrived from England the 19th May, and Mr
Cowell delivered to
Mrs Marsden the Letters he had in charge the list of Hues [?] shipped by the Society was afterwards handed to me which were all safely landed and Warehoused under my charge, there has been no opportunity for Mr
Cowell to proceed to New Zealand on his Mission, but as the Active may be expected to return here by the end of the Month I will lose no time in equipping the Vessel for the Voyage by which time I sincerely hope our friend Mr
Marsden will have reurn’d to his anxious family and friends from his pious and very arduous labors at New Zealand:
I have great hopes Mr
Cowell will during his stay here discover the process of manufacturing the leaf of the Flax
plant so long boasted of by a Man of the name of Williams, a convict sent twice from England, and who has been very invective in his expressions against the Directions for sending Mr
Cowell to instruct the Natives and which can be only gratifying to these persons here inimical to the great and good cause you are engaged in; I have supplied Mr
Cowell with whatever necessaries he has applied for from time to time, and shown him such civilities as my humble circumstances admit of. W_ [?]
I remain
Dear & Revd Sir
Your mo: Obed & faithful Serv
Rob. Campbell
Revd
Josiah Pratt Agent
