run - Douglas and Will's Patangata hill run. My Epriama leases - Also Henry Russell has secured Arihi's (Hapuku's neice) interest in Heretaunga Block and has today filed his Deed. You heard I expect about Arihi having turned out a minor. I don't think H.R. will make anything of what he has bought at Heretaunga, but he will cause endless litigation and expense - One thing is quite certain that he means real mischief in all the things he is going at - his action in this Heretaunga case clearly proves that. A great deal of my time is necessarily taken up in counteracting the schemes of these scoundrels and it is hard work to check them. Money is spent by them freely -hundreds of pounds have paid away the last week or two -
