some person to Act as
Emigration Officer at that Port
as advantage may be taken of
the nonexistence of such an
Officer and before communication
could be had with Sydney much
mischief might arise - The
Vessel I allude to is the Johnson
now lying at the Circular
Quay and from her
Appearance would I think
carry about 180 or 200 persons

It would also be adviseable [sic] ... 3 ...

that some copies of the Act should
be forwarded to Moreton Bay.

Should His Excellency think ... 4 ...

that it is advisable that an
Officer should be appointed at
this Out Port, I shall make
a point of obtaining all the
information in my power as to this
Vessels [sic] Capabilities, Stores &c -
and communicate Officially
with him on the Subject

I have the honor to be

[erased] (I remain) Sir

Your most obed't Serv't

Gov't Emigration Agent
