like my History, and think I
have made a great gift to
Australia in it. I am persuaded
that if I had not written it, no
one would have composed a
narrative showing from a
respectable stand-point the
history of the first century of
Australian colonization.

I am humbly grateful that
with my doctor's skilful aid
I have survived to shape and
polish the 2nd edition, which
friends in England congratulate
me upon. Have you seen
that man C G Duffys "Life in two
Hemispheres"? I have asked
two literary friends in England
to compare (if they see his book)
with aid of my Index the true
narrative of his career here
with his garbled misrepresentation
