[on right] Remarks

========== [Remarks combined from the following page]

There would no doubt be considerable loss in driving down cattle, but as a great proportion of them would be young, they have not been estimated to cost above four pounds [added above] (20/) per head. --

Two pairs of shoes have been estimated to cost 10/-, two shirts 5/-, ten yards of duck for trowsers [sic] and frocks 10/, & thread & buttons /6d, one cap, 1/6. --

The total value of Engineer stores actually drawn from the Commissariat during the last three Years allowing a liberal price for every thing, amounts to £2360. 7. 2 1/4, but this expense, has been incurred partly by the erection of buildings now completed or nearly so. ---

Tobacco could be grown at the Settlement. A blanket has been estimated to cost 7/-, and materials for making a hammock 6/-

The expense of a Vessel is unknown here, and £1200. 0. 0. is stated on the authority of the late Master of the Governor Phillip. ---

Extra shoes for Constables and Overseers are not allowed at present, but this is stated, under an idea that their being so, and small gratuities granted for apprehending runaways would be desirable. ---

The average quantity of maize sent to Sydney for the last three Years, being 13,000 bushells [sic], it is supposed at least 20,000 bushells [sic] could be sent if ploughs were used.

The number of men was formerly greater at this Settlement, but more were unavoidably employed in constructing buildings, roads and bridges. It is supposed that the Governor Phillip, if properly loaded ought to carry 20,000 bushells [sic] of maize to Sydney in four Voyages and that she ought to make two more with Cedar plank &c within the Year.
