Settlement memoir and colonial grant struggles in Western Australia
A long letter recounts three years in the new colony of Western Australia detailing land grants, shortages, and the author’s shift to farming. He describes Governor Clarke’s administration, land allocation near Swan and Canning Rivers, and hardship from wage cuts, transport gaps, and the need for roads, bridges, and military protection. The writer notes interactions with indigenous people, local trade, costs of necessities, and plans to build Frongerford Farm while pursuing agriculture and land agency roles.

Holland and Belgium War News From The Hague Dispatch
The Hague reports from December 11 recount Allied operations along the Scheldt and Antwerp, with significant injuries. Lieutenant Colonel De Beer was wounded by a grenade in General Chassé's chamber and underwent amputation. General Chassé and Colonel Koopman were present. The French reportedly have thousands wounded. Dutch casualties numbered about thirty. Letters from Van Zuylen van Nyevelt to Lord Grey outline British hesitation over Berlin proposals and Antwerp citadel evacuation as a negotiation prerequisite.
