I wish you could take some of our surplus grasses.
We had many thousands of bushels this year that we
could not consume, our harvest is just at hand & very
heavy crops & our stores in a great meadow full. We
have about 20,000 head of cattle & about 50,000 sheep.
I think this will in time become one of the finest
countries in the world. I with many of my pious
friends were as well provided for as we are. I
hope Mr. Stokes is well – give my kind respects to him,
& to all your family, & Mr. & Mrs. Hughes. I feel grateful
to you all for your past attentions. Should the Revd. Mr.
Foster be still alive give our most affectionate regards
to him & Miss Searll. All my daughters write with
me in the best wishes for you & yours.

I am Dear Madam
Yours respectfully
Samuel Marsden

Recd. Feb. 28. 1814
Answd. in July or August 1814.
