"I landed with my family at this place the 14th of February, and to my great comfort and aftonishment, I find there is neither the fcarcity that was reprefented to me, nor the barren fands I was taught to imagine I fhould fee; the whole place is a garden, on which fruit and vegetables of every defcription grow in the greatest luxuriance. Nothing is wanting here but corn and black cattle; within five miles of my habitation there is food in abundance for many thousand head of cattle, and we have not 20 cows in the colony. Could we once be fupplied with cattle, I do not believe we hould have occafion to trouble Old England again. "I live in as good a house as I defire, and the farm of my predeceffor, which has been given to me, produces a fufficiency of every thing for my family. The climate, though very hot, is not unwholefome; we have plenty of fish, and there is good shooting. I receive every attention and accommodation from the governor which is in his power to render ine. In short, I have no complaint to make, excepting that I am rather farther from England than I wish.
