No. 102
Sir

Immediately after
the sailing of the Governor
Phillip for Norfolk Island,
I received per Isabella
from Moreton Bay Accounts
that the crop of Maize had
suffered considerable
diminution in consequence
of a protracted drought.

Fearing that this cir-
cumstance may induce
the Commandant to alter
the arrangement with
respect to the Cargo of
that Article to be sent in
the Gov. Phillip to Norfolk
Island, I do myself the
honor to request that
instructions may be sent
by the Isabella now about
to sail for Moreton Bay,
that

The Honble
the Col. Secretary

[margin]
representing that although the
crop of Maize at Moreton Bay
falls short of expectation, yet
he considers it better that a full
cargo of that grain be
still sent to norfolk Island
per Isabella- and flour substituted, if necessary, at
Moreton Bay- as being the
Settlement less Penal of the
two.-

For approval
