Norfolk Island Novr. 5th. 1793
Dear Sir
By a Strange fatality we have not received our Letters which came out by the last Ship, which we are informed are still lying for us at Port Jackson - however Ships passing this way afford me an Opportunity of conveying my best wishes for your health.
By the Sugar Cane which sailed from here 27th Ulto. I wrote you a short Letter, & indeed the little stay this Ship makes here prevents me from saying much more - Thanks, my honoured Sir for your permitting the publication of what I may safely call my ill wrote but faithfull Journal, with that bundle of Jaundiced detraction which preceeds it - I have made Capt Nepean (who will deliver you this) trudge all over the Island, to him I shall refer you for his Opinion on what he has seen -. What the Island really is you have known long since it gives me a singular pleasure
