Letter from P. Wilson, to Donald McLean, dated 17th. January 1853. New Plymouth. 17th. January 1853. My dear Mac., I now enclose to you a cheque made payable to yourself for £166.5.6,(One Hundred and sixty six pounds, five shillings, and sixpence); also two Bank of England Post Bills, each £10, (Ten pounds), making in all the sum of One Hundred and eighty six pounds, five shillings, and sixpence; being the amount due to you for the Waiwakaio property sold to Mr. Gudgeon; for the debt due to you by Miss Wicksteed, viz.,- Thirty pounds fifteen shillings and sixpence; also for that of Mr. Black, viz,- Seven pounds. I have deducted having paid Mr. Sharland the sum of Twenty pounds for a debt you were due to him; and having farther paid to Mr. Gudgeon £2 for a Picture,-frame, the receipted account for which you took round with you to the Governor at Wellington. Ritchie is to write to you regarding the Power of Attorney; as the one I hold is only for the Wai-wakaio property. I, presuming my leave will come down per first post, will leave this for Whanganui on the 1st. of February; where I hope to spend three quiet weeks with the Duke, duchess, and a'the Campbells, at Wiritoa. This place is quite in the hot stage of a political fever. A very dead set is making at poor Flight; who, in my honest opinion, deserves very opposite treatment from the people here; and I am confident that if the Governor will only concede to the party, and cause an enquiry to be instituted, that he will come off with flying colours. I am most heartily sick of the place. Rimini and his wife are now here to spend their holidays, and dine with us to-day. Our gold mania is happily subsiding; and we be-gin again to think pf the soil, and iron sand. I enclose a note from Gudgeon to me; which please attend to as early as possible. He is trying to sell, and be off to Wanganui. I have got a companion for Pat, a quiet gentle-manly lad, named Burgess. He wishes to learn farming. He starts to-morrow. The Bishop arrived at Waitara last night; and confirms there to-day. I write in a very great hurry; as the post waits for no man. Send me a reply to this per first mail. I hope your little boy is doing well. I remain, my dear Mac, very faithfully yours, (Signed) P. Wilson. To,- Donald McLean Esq. Wellington.
