My Lord,—
The undersigned, having before solicited to be sent as settlers to New Zealand, and learnt by Your Honor of the 2nd of April last that Government do not intend sending settlers to that place, think it our duty to inform you that we intend going by the first conveyance we can meet with, and should Your Lordship please to honor us with dispatches for Mr. C. Hall, Mr. King, or other missionaries, no one would be more proud to execute your commands than
Your, &c.,
Taylor & Upton.
The Honble. Earl Bathurst, &c.
