the Company should be unable to satisfy the expected purchasers in next and the following ships. Even now, land is wanted by the new arrivals, and there is none for them, unless they go into the forest, which is objectionable to them. Charles Hursthouse intends to come in the April ship, - at least so he wrote my brother; and said there would be several passengers for this place. When they come, what is to be done with them? On dit Miss Gates is shortly to be Mrs. Percimal; when I hope my cottage will again be required. Yours very truly (Signed) H. Halse. To:- D. McLean Esq.
