that there was a trial, and I read some
part of your father's forcible statement
but I see no record of the result.

3. Was your father forbidden,
without any trial, to return to New
South Wales? and if so under what
instrument, and how did the
English Govt communicate their
decision?

But I must have done, or you will
declare me an intolerable bore.

The Court martial on Kent I must learn
about when I see you. I had not seen
any account of it. Johnstons [sic] Court
Martial I shall be glad to see, and if you can
venture to part with it for a time, Sir W^m Mitchell
might be a safe conveyer of it. Bigge's
Report (without the evidence) I have found in
our Public Library and can refer to there.

Arthur King can lend me your brother's book, I find.

I abominate the sea so much that I think
I shall go overland to Camden, when I get
an opportunity to go at all.

Pray accept my warmest thanks for
your sympathy and aid, and believe me
with kindest regards to Mrs Macarthur, Mrs
Onslow and yourself (the little ones dont know me)

Yours very sincerely
