Dear Sir
I have written to you by various conveyances & not having received any answer I concluded the Letters have not been delivered. I have now written by Colonel Davey to request that jointly with yourself you will see my Property in that country justly disposed of and that good Bills may be transmitted to my agent Mr. O Standert, 3 Cliffords Inn London. I trust you will not think me importunate in having sent a second Power to you with a request to Governor McQuarry, my reasons were, Colonel Davey might not arrive, Mr. Blaxland be dead (which I hope not all these considerations have induced me to beg you will see justice done to me. My former Letters with my Fathers Newspapers will have given you all the Information. I beg my best wishes to Mrs. Moore. Andrew I believe is doing well in his Professional Duties. I have not heard from him for some time.
Yours truly
H. Waterhouse
April 24th 1812
PS Let me hear from you as soon as you can. I do not wish you should have any trouble on the occasion unless Mr. Blaxland does not immediately proceed to put my wishes in execution. I know you will oblige me in this Instance, all the requisite Papers are in the hands of Mr. Gregory or John Blaxland and the Circumstances you are in a great measure acquainted with.
