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.
