Melford Cottage, Napier 14th Novr. 1860 My dear MacLean, Both Mrs, Fitzgerald and myself have learned with much regret of your illness, indeed I heard of it first from Auckland. Will not now trouble you with any official work, or a long note as it may only be a boar to you but will write fully when I am informed of your convalescence. Believe me with sincerest hopes for your speedy recovery, Always most truly, M. Fitzgerald.
