[MS 276]

Hawkesbury River and I hope you will pray with us that when ever it is complate The Lord will take to himself His great power and Reign there in, and cause his Glory to fill the place as heretofore, in conjuction with Bro Youl  will continue to carry on the worship of God through that district as well as in others and we trust that our labour has not been in Vain in the Lord -

By the last conveyance we had no news from Otaheite to transmit to you but a few days since the Perseverance returned to this port and bring intillgense not of a very pleasing in my nature.

The Parramatta that took supplies for the Brethren we learn never trust and we have reason to suspect that she is lost - The Perseverence arrived safe at Otaheiti with the articles  the books and Mr and Mrs Elder from this colony but i ?? took my place Captain Folke ?
