Dear Sir/

     Brother Hayward and I have received Articles from Capn Campble to the amount of Nine pounds ten shillings for which we have given him Bills on you and dout not that you will honour the same.  I you will be so kind as to deliver the enclosed note of Brother Haywards to Mr Shelly you will receive from him the sum of Six pounds nine shillings which is what B Haywards share of the articles we have received comes to, and mine to Three pounds one shilling, which you will be so good as to put to my account and for the Balance you will have in hand I shall be glad to receive any kind of useful 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 March? that you wrote me by the [indecipherable] Parramatta, but that you know I never received.  The scooner 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 Perservereance was here ended in an engagement in which the King was defeated and obliged to fly to Morea?  On the first 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 and his Mother be one mind in share.  Hoping to hear from you the first opportunity, I remain
                                                            Yours sincerely
  To Mr Rowland Hassall
