13 March 1869 Glenorchy My dear Donald As I have a number of plants and cuttings to take down for you and that the grass seed has to come up would it not be better for the station cart to go down with them and bring up the seed and any other things they may be wanting. I would insist on them burning this month patches here and their and let the sheepherds, manager & Twigg take the seed out and sow it on the ground. I cannot stop here and be pes.... at the frivolous way and want of energy displayed by every one that comes to the station. In the mode of putting it in grass it grieves me to think that the old sistem I so faithfully adobted in getting all the men I could in the season to spread grass over the run is now know [crossed out] completely
