My Dear Sir,

After leaving you yesterday
at Kirkham I could not help feeling
I had given you room to imagine I had
acted with duplicity in refusing your
kind offer of the horse to carry me to Parramatta
after pleading as an excuse the poverty of my own
I cannot therefore rest satisfied until I
afford you that explanation which is your
due from [indecipherable] ; -
I am well aware of your knowledge
respecting the state of feeling between your
sister Ann & myself; - and shall therefore
be candid - my Principal object in going
to Parramatta was to see Her, but hearing
from you she was going from Home I no
longer felt that wish to reach Parramata
which her being there had occasioned
