1 Original Correspondence Frederick Crewe Haswell , Kenneth Munro , 1835 single work correspondence
— Appears in: The Colonist , 6 August vol. 1 no. 32 1835; (p. 251-252)

Frederick Haswell requests that Kenneth Munro 'furnish him immediately with the name of the writer of the article in the Colonist of yesterday, reflecting on him, Mr. H.'

In reply, Munro 'begs to inform Mr. Haswell, that he does not think it necessary to furnish him with the information solicited, as it appears to him that the writer of the article he refers to, had no intention to reflect upon him, Mr. H., and was merely expressing his commiseration for his truly destitute case, in being so unseasonably deprived of his right hand man, Mr. William Watt. Indeed, Mr. Munro thinks Mr. H. should rather feel obliged to the writer of the article in question, for showing him how easily the matter might be managed, notwithstanding Mr. Watt's having got into trouble.'

The Colonist then reproduces the column, published on 30 July, regarding William Watt's committal to stand trial.

The main object of the Colonist was 'the general diffusion of useful knowledge, and the inculcation of right principles in regard to the means of promoting the moral welfare and the general advancement of the colony of New South Wales'. (1.1 (1 January 1835): 1)
