working hard from morning till night rearing lambs, poultry and trees. He has got a fine garden hear full of all kinds of fruit trees. He will be alble to send you some to Auckland next year. I am afraid he will kill himself working. He is not a moment at rest. He is to anxious to get on alltogether. Our wheat and oats, potatoes, grass looks pretty well considered new land we will have a large crop of potatoes. I hope this year our woolshed is builded and we intend to shear in December. Any word of last year wooll or shall we shear in the grease this year again or what is to be done with the wooll or will you take a trip down at shearing as we will let you no the time. If you don't come I shall go as I can safely leave some as Archy is hear. When he gets in the way he can manage as well as I can.
