My Dear Sir

I learn that the Governor is
not coming to Sydney today - I regret
it because it is most desirable
that the Isabella should reach Moreton
Bay before the Governor Phillip
does. -

Adverting to our conversation
of yesterday - I still consider it
indispensably necessary that the arrange-
ment of the Governor Phillip's present
voyage should remain undisturbed.
Any other would cause a
great loss of time in the Service of that
Vessel, which is valuable, and require
the immediate hiring of a vessel

[reply notes]

Inform Mr Laidley

Let the [...] [...] dispose of the Maize as he
pleases, tho' I confess I can not see the use of sending
from Moreton Bay to N. I. provisions which it will be
afterwards necessary to supply from Sydney to M.B. Better
send at once from Sydney to N.I.

I know of no intention to
make any change in the destination or
order of the Govr Phillip.
