My dearest Douglas The messenger sent up by the Hunters returned at 9 am so I am in a hurry to get into town to send you two letters I have written to go by him. I am at Mrs Wilson's where I slept last night Sunday and the Dr will not allow me to go till I have breakfast. He does not imagine that I think much more of getting my pussy's letters sent than of a breakfast. I have got quite rid of my cold. The weather is clearing up and when the messenger arrives that I sent to Wellington I shall hasten back to my puss. I am going to write you again by the 12 o'clock mail so that I need add no more at present. Ever your own afft, Donald McLean Monday 16 Augt 1852 Mrs Wilson desires to be most kindly remembered to you and expects a letter from you by next opportunity. Goodbye dearest.
