Government House Sydney

10 Octr 1807

My Dear Sir

There is a doubtful opportunity which now offers by which I can let you know I am well and inform you that from past exertions the Colony is recovered from a most deplorable State.  Indeed I can give you every assurance of its now raising its head to my utmost expectation.  The Public Buildings carry an aspect of their value and private homes the pride of their inhabitants, poor as they are yet they are neat, and the town altogether is become what has not been seen before in this Country. 

In the Interior I feel satisfied that the same emulation exists among the inhabitants; and their industry materially increasing, great exertions have been made to till the land, and the ensuing harvest promises well.

The discontented are checked
