Matavai 2nd Octr 1832
Sir
To my astonishment I received a not from you dated 22nd Sepr requesting me to pay £4 . 4 . 6 on or before Tuesday next to prevent unnecessary trouble. This is therefore to inform you that I am prepared to prove that in January 1830 I sent you a notice to discontinue your paper. In the beginning of February I offered, in the presence of Mr Robt Campbell, to pay a quarter in advance which you refused to accept, and I then told you I would not take the 'Australian' any longer. They were stopped for a considerable time, say a quarter and since that time about one or two a month be sent these I told Mr Shelly to refuse taking but the man that delivers the papers has thrown them at Mr Shelley's door. After all these facts which I can clearly prove you are at liberty to give yourself as much trouble as you may think proper.
I am
Sir
Your Obdt Servt
