Dear Sir,

I acknowledge, with great pleasure,
the receipt of your letter of 3rd. May, with the Notices
which I immediately published in Sydney and
shall distribute to every part of the country as

the poor Indians from the misery preparing
for them by their unprincipled oppressors _

clearings would [incur] [more] expense than the
object to be obtained would be worth _ I shall
give such directions as will limit both the time
and labor to the [narrowest] [compass] consistent
