Item 2 - Letter from Henry Waterhouse to Thomas Moore, 18th September 1806

Dear Sir
It is so short a time since I last wrote that I have nothing further to say than that Andrew is well, will
be in London tomorrow from Dr. Whites, where he has been for the Holidays and will write to you &
Mrs. Moore, this will be given to you by my Friend Mr. Blaxland to whom any service you can render
on his arrival, I shall consider as an obligation, he goes out with his family, you already I suppose
know I have let my farm to him for seven years, & that he will take charge of my stock. Therefore I
trust to your friendship in giving him any assistance that may be in your power, in my last about a
fortnight ago I mentioned having received the Birds you were good enough to send me. My best
regards to Mrs. Moore.
Yours truly
H. Waterhouse
September the 18th, 1806

"I shall desire Andrew when he arrives in Town, to write to you, & seal it himself which I will send to
Mr. Blaxland, & not having been seen by any body, you will know his real sentiments. My Father
proposes to send you the Newspapers, & will write at the same time. In which you will see the Death
of two of the greatest characters that ever lived Mr. Pitt & Mr. Fox."
