is at my own place and a boy I have got for three years a an aprentice. I shall bring MacInnis allong with me to your station to split timber and build the woolshed and all the fencing that may be required on the place to save tow or three hundred pound at the present time as we can not afford to lay the money out. I have not he[a]rd from John since I saw you but I had a small sum of money from Melbourne that kept me going as yet and I hope to have some more shortley. I believe John must have bought another vessell. I cannot sell any horses. They are under promise to the natives and I cannot get the money. Your mare is at your own place and one of the horses packing provision. The mare has got a strong horse foall. The donkeys are at my place doing well. I want to breed mules. They will be most useful.
