Subject Notes
'Kendall wrote on May 24, 1827 from Valparaiso to the Rev. Edw. Bickersteth, of the CMS, on the subject of his "Easy Lessons in the New Zealand Language", which he wished to have published if the MS., which he had forwarded, was approved by Professor Lee, ands asks "if a revision of the New Zealand Grammar and Vocabulary will be acceptable to the Society." He settled in Sydney shortly after this, and was drowned there in 1832'.-- Williams, 6a supplement.
