      Dear Sir
As I have not heard from you now for a long time, I can give you no directions relative to my Affairs, but leave you to act as you see best. I have no doubt, but Governor Macquarie will render you every assistance you may want on my account till
I arrive, should you be in need of any thing that we can do. We are now preparing to return - the ship is at Deptford in which we take our passage. I think we shall not be long after the Governor - it may be two months before we sail as there are
always delays longer than is expected. Mrs Marsden and the Children are well - Another Clergyman comes out with me and his family. I am looking out for two more if I could only meet with such men as I want, but they are difficult to find - I hope  things in the Colony will now be put on a different footing from what they formerly were - many Arrangements are and will be made for the general welfare - I fully expected a great Change would be made when we first left you, which has taken place -  I was not ignorant of the danger you were in, well knowing the
disposition of certain individuals amongst you. God will bring good out of evil -
