Details: 'Since my return from Van Dieman's Land I have visited Hunter's River and examin'd all the branches as far as a very small boat could proceed. The unfriendly disposition of the natives, who even attacked my boat, rendered it unsafe for me to go far from the banks, or to trace any of the branches above where they are navigable. This excursion added about 50 species of plants to my collection, but in other departments absolutely nothing. For some months past I have not enjoyed good health. I have often been so weak as to be incapable of undertaking any laborious excursion. Caley has just returned successful from one that has been very fatiguing. - Correspondence of Robert Brown to Sir Joseph Banks dated 12 December 1804
