Father, I've travelled 3 seas now it's been around 8 weeks. I have been really squashed, The roofs are 130cm. Others have died my neighbors have died, I steal their rations. We have arrived at new Holland/ new south Wales. I expect there to be cages and prisons. I have now left the ship and see "It's Paradise "there are trees I've never seen before and people I've seen before. One seems to have been talking to the captain. The guy sad wagga wagga (Go Away). I don't know what that means but I think it means "Welcome to Australis". I have made new friends, they are younger than m. I feel this place will be wonderful if we find food and fresh water
