Dear Brother It was my intention to write you a long letter, but my time and circumstances prevent it as Capt. Walker has returned here unexpectedly from Taheite, and is going immediately. The Lord brought us here in safety after a long and uncomfortable passage of fifteen weeks but one day, we found the state of affairs here favourable as we could expect, the chiefs and various parties of the people are all favourable to us. The late Miss Chrystie now Mrs Hayward is now very ill, and not expected to recover, Mrs Henry has been also very ill but is now better.
