We left the river Mersey on the 23rd of December, 1849, and for the first three days had contrary winds and rather cold weather; but after the wind became fair; the weather was getting warmer every day. I began jobbing with the carpenter to occupy my mind as it was rather unsettled and found myself much better by doing a little. Nearly all hands were sick were sick for a few days at first
I am now in the town of Geelong, employed by another master, that is putting a new mill up of four pair of stones.....There are a great many Manx people here, and all are doing well. I have been in Costain's house several times. He is married to a Miss Kelly, from Ballagarey, in Rushen. He is making bricks, and earns about £9 a week, one of his shipmates is in partnership with him. They give £30 a year for an acre of land. I hear that John Faragher from Malew church, is doing well at his trade. I hear also that John Quayle, sailor, from Castletown, is in the police force. The Manx people here and those at Milburn are all doing well. I dont think you know any more f those here; but I will name a few of them, in case you send this letter to the press. Their friends will be happy to hear of them. In Geelong there is one Sherlock, a stone cutter, from Douglas; James Keig, sailor and wife, from Lezayre; Bridson, joiner, wife and child, from Castletown; Gawne and family from Greeba; one Christian, son of Mr E. Christian, ramsey. Now for thoose in Milburn. D.

Gale bought 100 acres of good fenced land for £200. J.Kinrade, wife and family, who came out with Gale. The woman I am lodged with is manx, she has the best board and lodging house in the town. She can accomodate about forty, and is doing well; the place is her own.
The district will go a better now. It used to be under the control of Sydney but now it is separated, and has a Governor of its own. It is no penal settlement. It is called "Victoria District" or Port Phillip
