return of post. I have arranged a credit for you at Wellington for £ 5,000 which can, if you are likely to need it, be increased. But the English October mail is not in yet, and pending its arrival, I have not wished to draw a larger sum. Fenton is returned to the Waikato under injunction to do as little as possible in the Runanga line. I have had to start Drummond Hay to the Piako with a flea in his ear. Johnson is up here for a few days. He is making a plan of the Wanganie blocks. I have no time for more news Yours very truly, C.W.RICHMOND D.McLean Esq.
