Auckd. 1 Octr. 1862 My dear McLean, Will you kindly exercise some supervision of my rams going down? They are looking so well that I have determined to send them off if you will take a sort of charge of them - I'll try and get the boxes for them in which they came - and of course ship them with grub etc. I saw D. Bell yesterday - I'll see you again also. Truly yours G. S. Whitmore
