Burra dividend paid in Decr. last. The Gigs are not yet landed, and I have not yet seen Paxton [William Paxton, 1818-1893] but I shall charge to him & myself jointly yours & Albert's [Albertus Lemmers Ricardo Hayward, 1829-1889] expenses in purchasing cloth gigs & which I will send when I remit to Albert for his goods, but I am afraid they will not sell to pay for some weeks .

Explains the bill of exchange which is enclosed, and the Letter of Attorney empowering his father Joakim (whom he calls "the Governor") to receive the £80 on behalf of his sister Madeline and his brothers Fred (Johnson Frederick) and Charles (Charles Bland Hayward, 1831-190?]. 'I expected Charles here before this, however as he has not come I shall send a duplicate Power to Fred for him and Charles to sign . Fred was here at the beginning of March and looked better than I have seen him for years. I had a letter from him ten days ago, in which he says I may expect Charles about the end of this month.' Martinus then goes into some detail about various remittances he is sending to family members out of dividends he is receiving. 'I also wish he [i.e. his father, Joakim] would buy me a really good telescope. I have explained to Albert the kind I want, and I dare say he could get it in Liverpool. I don't care if it is second hand, we can see all the ships from the windows of our house, but they are from 10 to 16 miles distant. I would not mind £15 or £16 for a good one. Paxton and I made about £130 by the Cloth, and about cleared ourselves by the Gigs. I kept the large Gig with the velvet cushions, but I intend to sell it as it runs so very heavy. I have not yet had the accounts from Paxton for the goods he sent for on our joint account, but I think they will pay very well . I have heard nothing of Perret for years, but suspect he went to the Diggings. I don't know where to enquire for him . I have two gentlemen on a visit here from Adelaide today, and if I lose today's Post, I may be too late for the Steamer, and our Post Office is 4 miles away. Mary [née Mary Jane Bruce, 1834-79] too intended to write to Mother, but our servant is gone to Town for a few days and she is obliged to be in the kitchen. She desires me to thank you and Mother for your kind letters and to send her love to all of you, in which little Mary joins. The latter is very well and very forward in everything but talking, she can only say a few words, she has now nearly all her teeth. The meazles has been going the round of the colony, but as yet Mary has escaped them . Your affectionate Brother, Martinus Hayward.' III.Manuscript letter. 21 September 1854. Martinus Hayward, Adelaide, South Australia, to his sister Mary Anna, Stonehouse, Gloucestershire. 3 pages, quarto. 'About three weeks ago I received a letter from Fred (who had come down to the Burra) enclosing one from Jacob [Jacob Scott Hayward, 1818-1868] explaining how my father was situated with regard to Uncle Jacob &c &c, and on the 4th of this month I received yours of July 2nd . About the end of May I wrote to Madeline, in which I mentioned that out of my legacy of £80 I wished you and Madeline to be paid £10 each for March & June Burra Dividends, £10 to Elizabeth [Elizabeth Copper Hayward, 1824-1905] & £5 to Theresa [Maria Theresa Andree Hayward, 1823-1905], which Fred requested me to send them, and £15 to my father & Albert for expenses incurred in procuring the Cloth & Gigs; now under the circumstances I wish to relinquish all claims to the legacy in favour of my father, and accordingly remit 1st of Exchange for £50 to pay the above sums, and as agreed, the Telescope which I also sent for, it can be paid for from the Interest of Elliot's debt, but as I want one for use on.
