According to your advice I have not sent an order on Robt Camble Esq enclosed in this. and Mr Henry will inform you what I would wish to have done with the money, but if he should not arrive in the Colony, I leave it entirely to you to dispose of it for me to the best advantage. Mr Henry has advised me to purchase a Mare, or a Cow, which he says would turn to some advantage for me should I go down to the Colony at any future time. In my letter by Capt Campble I requested you to send me such articles as you might think usefull to the amount of what you might have in hand Had the muskets you sent to Mr Henry been good ones I should have taken them, but they are of no use, those sold to the Natives by Mr Halford being so neat in their eyes that they would not esteem those you sent at all. But if you will be so kind as to send me 2 neat ones the first opportunity I shall esteem it a favour. About 6 good oval looking glasses would be serviceable about 5 inches diameter. Had I it in my favour to make you any recompense I would gladly do it, and if there is any instance wherein I can serve you I will thank you to mention it your next. I remain Dear Friend. yours truly H Nott To Mr Hassal Parramatta
