meet her, what a scrambling there will be for accomodation. I am sorry the general state of things here should have prevented building on speculation, but if it be true that a Company is forming at Home to work our iron sand, houses will not long be found wanting; neither will there be occasion to visit the region of California. All that I see wanting to push this settlement on, is land. Let that land be North or South, it matters not, so long as peaceable possession can be ensured, Europeans will be satisfied. I am sorry to say Mrs. Wilson has been ill again, and the weather has prevented my wife calling on her. I hear - but cannot say it is true - that Mr. Wilson wishes to let his farm. If so, there will be no great difficulty about that.
