Letter from Christopher Smith to Matthew Flinders (FLI01) Page 14


I think it is an unpardonable crime,
particularly at this present time.
      I have received a kind letter from
Colonel Patterson, I consider myself under
great obligations for his attention, make
my best respects to the Colonel, if he is retu-
rned to Boty Bay & tell him that I will
write & send him some Clove & Nutmeg
Plants by the first conveyance.
      Is Captain Raven come out, I am info-
rmed he is, remember me to him. –
      I have had one letter from Wiles
since I have been in India, and that
was in 95 – he told me his annual
Income was equal to one thousand pounds,
I suppose he is too great – now to
correspond with his poor Meƒsmates. –
