Copenhagen May 26 72 My dear McLean The Brindisu and Frisco Mails both arrived the day before I left London - so I was unable to do anything - but I will attend to it as soon as I return - which will be about the 15th - I am glad to hear such good accounts of native affairs - the Governors tour I regard as a splendid advertisement for the Colony in England. If population can be poured in at the rate of 20,000 a year N. Z. will take the lead of all the Australian Colonies - and may easily be brought to within 35 days of London. Webbes Boats are not up to the mark - but of course he has had uphill work - and deserves great credit for sticking to what hitherto must have been a most ruinous contract. I should say he has been losing not less than £5000 a month. Flax now is fairly established in the market at highly remunerative prices - for preserved meat a daily increasing demand - all say the price of wool will be maintained for the next two years - I wish you could buy some land up the Wanganui river - about Jerusalem and let me send out some fifty French families of vine dressers - I know no place in N.Z. where the vine does so well. If I can spare time this summer I intend running over to Switzerland to induce some of the Swiss engaged in preparing the desiccated milk to emigrate - there is an unlimited demand for it - and it is said to yield a large profit - it would raise the value of your Cows 50 p. c. I am just starting for Christiana to see a body of Emigrants off to Napier Yours ever faithfully I.E.Featherston If I succeed in making an arrangement there will be no objection to your wool being consigned to the party.
