to Hobart Town has made him stouter than her. You will be glad to hear we have got a Scotch minister at last. He has preached once and Papa thinks a great deal of him. Mama and I called for his lady and she is a very agreeable person quite like a Scotch clergyman's wife. I trust this will reach you. I shall address it to Taranaki. Mama sends her kind regards and hopes you will write soon and let us know when we may expect to see you. And believe me my dear Mr McLean Yours every sincerely Susan Douglas Strang
