My dearest Douglas I have written to you by several opportunities this week and I shall write you again by the 'Eclair' and very soon I shall go back myself to my pussy. I am busy today and shall not write you a long letter in fact I must conclude even now as I am surrounded with people crossing and looking over my shoulder. There are two letters for you or three by the Hunter's messenger who started an hour ago and may reach you before this mail. Give my kind love to Papa and believe me to remain ever your own devoted Donald McLean Taranaki Augt 16 1852 Do not be angry at this very short hurried letter. It is better than none pussy. I always like to write if it is only 3 lines.
