Dear Jos
I am much better & have translated all in [Francis] Baralliers letter which from reading Patersons letter to you, I think may be worth your perusal; I also send a letter this day receivd from Govr King by which you will see that Barrallier did not shew attention to me without leave, which you suspected when the parcel was first opend. He has not a correspondant but myself and His Father, & is not acquainted with any of his countrymen, after the Evacuation of Toulon he remained in Italy till Ld Spencer sent for Baralliers Family to join him in England, giving them a Passage & during his residence here it was at Shelford. I hope therefore you will not disaprove of my pushing him on, as he conducts himself well, and does not appear unfit, we shall judge more from his present Occupation as he informs me he was to be from 4 Oct to the middle of May employed in finishing the survey of Hunter River.
