and send you copy as early as possible. Everything there is really going on very satisfactorily: the Manawatu surveys and the stoppage of Road at Warea being the only two hitches and those both I hope in the fair way of being got over, I have a note from Kelly who is in good spirits about his Mill and an application from Chilman, Hursthouse and others for another Flax site at Opunake. Yours very faithfully William Fox.
