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.

My Dear Sir
I am writing to you on a Melancholy subject, the Death of my dear Son Captain Waterhouse, who died the 27th July last and has left his affairs in a very unsettled state, which will occasion much embarrassment.
P.S. My Wife and all my family join me in best respects and good wishes to you and Mrs. Moore.
I forgot to say in the former part of my letter that I have sent Captn. Rowley's original letters, as they
may be necessary for you, pray take care of them in case I should want them in England.

Dear Sir,
We the undersigned being appointed to value the Farm of Captain Waterhouse on the North side of Parramatta River, have this day taken into consideration, and from the Fences and Buildings having gone to utter Ruin, we are of opinion that the said Premises are worth no more than One hundred and sixty Pounds Sterling to be paid on demand; as nothing can be taken into consideration but the Land and Situation except what sawed Timber may be found in the Ruins, which may help the Purchaser in his Improvements. The above we have mentioned to Mr. Hannibal McArthur who has agreed to become Purchaser upon your giving him possession and a regular Transfer.
We are &c [Signed]
