lead me - You will perceive that I am still here, tho' Mrs. Barstow and my family have been for some time living in Auckland - I am holding on in the hope that the Government may find me occupation elsewhere, for really I can't tell what Mr. Williams and myself have to do here to pass our time at this season of the year. Believe me to be My dear Mr. McLean Yours very truly J. W. Barstow
