Nelson 1873 Tuesday Hon. D. McLean Nelson. My dear Sir, I enclose a letter for Mr. Vogel, the proper address of which please to put on, and transmit it. Have the goodness to read it first, as I refer to the matter about which I telegraphed to you and also to the election prospects, that is of Richardson really intends to resign - Colonel McDonell published a pamphlet setting forth the improper treatment of him and his command under Richmond. Could you kindly get a copy of this for me, and send it on at once, along with any other facts re native that will tell agt. Richmond. I am pretty well up, but one can never know too many that against a political opponent - I believe I have good chance - Faithfully Yours D. M. Luckie P. S. I pitched into Barton Stafford and the Otago Daily Times re Staffords Letter or Telegraph case.
