[Henni's?] & Fish to Saml's until I hear from Mr
Scott. I hope you have received Mr [Boweimis?]
letter I forgot to tell you that Mr [indecipherable] has applied
for leave to remove from Port Macquarie. Capt. Gilman and Mr
Carter have orders to go down to Port Macqr and
select 500 of the Prisoners; they are to be distributed
among the Settlers when they come as I saw Mr
Carter I intercede for Noble, Wilkinson & [Raven?] and
he has promised to do all he can. Wilkinson stands
a good chance as all the Mechanics are to come
who are not for life: but I am afraid for [Raven?] that
he is a Respite. I consulted with Saml; how to
apply for Wilkinson & Noble but has we did not
know where they were tried & what Ship they came
in nothing could be done: Poor Sally did not
see Mother she returned without coming
to Parramatta for she heard we were
living at the Cow-Pastures. Tom and the Mare
came down safe. I received your short note
to-day. Jane sends her love to Mrs Street &
say anxious to be with her but cannot meet
with any Lady going up. The Children are
well believe me
dearest Thomas yours A Hassall
in great haste Monday night.
