Do you wish them to be forwarded? I ask the question because hitherto my orders have been to keep them here. Mr. Gudgeon generally calls for them, and hands them on to Captain Campbell. I do not know of anything else just now. By the way, your place is gotten into good hands, and begins to look well. It is high time the old settlers should be doing well; and I am glad to see your property being improved. I cannot say so much for the old house. Neither do I think Miss Wickstead is likely to do much with it. That, however, is her affair. The Horns are living in the house next the Parsonage, and I am not aware of an acknowledged suitor for either of the girls. I remain Sir, very sincerely yours (Signed) H. Halse. To:- D. McLean Esq.
