Dear Brother,

We have safely received your Letter of the 10´ March
1804 - addressed to Mr Hardcastle - and we thank you for the intelligence
it conveys to us regarding both the concerns of Religion of N.S. Wales, and
the state of our friends at Otoheite. We trust and believe that God
has placed you at Paramatta, for advantageous & important purposes,
and we pray that your devotedness to the Cause of God may continue
and increase, and that your success in every work of faith & labor of
love may be very gratifying and abundant.

The scenes which you witness in the Colony must be very interesting
and sometimes very distressing. From its nature and character iniquity
must dreadfully abound, and the soul of a good man must be intensely
grieved at the ungodly conversation and conduct of those who surround him.
We believe dear Brother that you have felt these affecting impressions - and
that all the holy passion of your soul have been excited, in compassion for mis-
erable and perishing sinners, and for the honour of your God & Saviour. With these 
feelings, and this devotedness, we trust you have engaged in the very necess-
ary & highly important work of preaching the Gospel of the Grace of God to the
Convicts, and of instructing their Children in the way of Salvation. No views &
motives of an inferior nature are applicable to this object nor would they
promise any success in your endeavours to attain it. Incidental circumstances
