Introduction

The 3045 letters of Cons 488/32 comprise some 520 letters fromFitzgerald, the remainder being from his replacement. Kennedytended to express his personal views less, writing more directly butless interestingly. Kennedy, like his predecessor, continued topromote development despite insufficient funds and/or labour, withan administration deficient in competence.

How to Use the IndexThe pages of the letter book are not numbered. The letters are

numbered and commence with 1694 to 1704. These letters appear tobe a continuation from 488/31 which concludes at letter 1466. If so,some letters are lost.

The initial eleven letter numbers (1694-1704) are laterreplicated in a new number series and the initial (or continuation)letter numbers are marked in the Indexes with an * .

The new number series has some omissions of number, someextra ‘a’ numbers and some repeated numbers, but letters may befound readily using the letter numbers; but note the use of * above.

Names IndexTitles without names have not been indexed.

Most names in the Letters lack initials or given names.Idiosyncratic spelling and poor writing add to identification difficulties.

Both initials and RN [Register Numbers] have been ascribed where possible.

Names in italics are those who seem to be convicts or prisoners.

Names in normal type are of settlers, soldiers or government staff.Convicts [in italics below] may have been employed by Government

at some time and therefore be shown both in normal type as well as italics.

Absence of initials or RN means identification to be uncertain withoutfurther inquiry. Convicts [both 'Colonial' and from UK] have a

full given name [where known] if the RN is unknown.

Names with an * are included in Barker, D J [see page 43].

Identifications should be checked. Particularly:1. the same name with an entry in both italics and in normal type.

2. the same name with an entry with initials and an entry without them.
