My dear Friend
I need not say that I am always glad to see your hand writing and the [indecipherable[ when as in this [indecipherable] you are able to give a good account of yourselves & things around about you. The late wretched financial condition would of course tell upon the commercial world of Sydney & it would require all the bright Pastoral & Agricultural prospects which you seemed to have before you to counteract the bad news from Europe, but if the shadows of Europe tell upon the Antipodes so does also the [indecipherable] & things are so rapidly improving here that I hope before Xmas you will find money as abundant as it was at the same time last year. We have had splendid hopes with next [indecipherable] for harvesting & from this & other causes [indecipherable] seems in a fair way to be completely restored. The European [indecipherable] too if settled & that in a way whatever
