Sydney, 21 April 1837
Dear Sir, 

By the favour of the Almighty I am permitted at last to announce to you our safe arrival. . . . The day of our embarkation having been the 10th of November last, our passage, you so will amount to five months within two days.

 2 May 1840 
Saw a few Blacks to day, also a Young man of a distant tribe, whose dialect seems to differ much from the neighbouring ones. He stays with a Settler. Rather late I reached Mr Cox’s farm, two miles beyond the intended Township of Mudgee. I was kindly received
by two Messes Coxes whose acquaintance I made for the first time (They only visit this their Estate or Estates at times.)
