Copy of Letter from Samuel Marsden and Rowland Hassall to Thomas Moore, 17th March 1813
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]
Saml. Marsden

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.
