"Macquarie Grove Feby 27th 17
Dear Sir
Accept my humble thanks for
your kind letter ; I was not expecting such
a favour as your moments must be very
precious to yourself and friends — I was
surprised, as you apprehended, on hearing
it was doubtful, whether you would depart
by the Kangaroo — I then supposed
you disliked to be in company with
certain characters, most likely to be your
[mess mates?] — Tho' I should like you to have
unexceptionable companions. I think you
should not disappoint yourself of a quick
embarkation, as something might occur
