Dear Friend
Since I wrote to you on the 9th of Dec. Last I have not had any safe opportunity of the sale of the farm and Cattle. Andrew called on us on Wednesday last, not having been in London for some time; looks remarkably well & in good health; told us there was a friend of his going out to New South Wales, that we could send a letter to you with safety: I have therefore sent you Papers The drafs [sic] One for £160 -the other for £165: 13: 6 both of which I Receiv'd making together £325: 13: 6, which I gave to Maria my grand Daughter, and intend to do the same with what remains unsettled, when I receive it, which I am sure and satisfied you will get finished as soon as you can, I understand Governor Macquarie is not likely to return yet, but I hope it will not be long before we shall have the
pleasure of seeing you and Mrs. Moore here, who [??] your very sincere and much oblig'd friend and Humble Servt.
W. Waterhouse
