Dear Sir/
Brother Hayward and I have received articles from Cap Campble to the amount of Nine pounds ten shillings for which we have given him Bills on you and dout not but you will honour the same.  If you will be so kind as to deliver the enclosed note of Brother Haywards to Mr Shelley, you will receive from him the sum of Six pounds nine Shillings, which is what B Hayward share of the articles we have received comes to, and nine to three pounds one Shilling, which you will be so good as to put to my account. and for the Ballance you will have in hand I shall be glad to receive any kind of usefull articles you may think proper to send me by the first Vessel that may come this way.
I have never yet received a line from you though I heard from Mr Youl that you wrote me by the Parramatta, but that you know I never received.  The schooner commanded by Mr Berbeck has been taken by the Tahaitians and one man killed, but as you will hear all the news from him I need not enlarge. The Rebellion that took place at the time the Persevereance was here ended in an engagement in which the King was defeated and obliged to reply to [?].  on the 1st of this month he engaged them again, and has again been obliged to retreat, having lost 24 men. A temporary is made which is not likely to last long, and the K & his Mother are now in Opare.  Hoping to hear from you the first opportunity,  I remain
Yours Sincerely
H Nott

To Mr Rowland Hassall
