let you know in my next. Port Nic. is to be blessed with 30, at least so the Skipper told me, and I believe we shall get the same number. Of course you have heard of Mrs. Wilson's windfall just a cool £3000. The Dr. looks at least 10 years younger and will I believe and hope live much longer than that to enjoy it. Always faithfully yours, H. Halse. P.S. Bad news for G.S. C ....r. The youngest Miss Richardson the very one I had cut out for him, is (so the passengers say) engaged to a Mr. de Foe or some such name a very gentlemanly fellow I hear.
