Brother Elder left us a few months back in the Serengapatam Cap Clark and is I hope safe arrived. We are glad to hear that B Youl has safely reached the Colony. By him I wrote a short letter which I supose you have received I shall be glad to hear if you have in your possession the Bills to which I directed Mr Youl to deliver to you. B Bicknel will give you every information respecting the Mission & With kind respects to Mrs Hassall and all your Family, I remain yours Sincerely H Nott
