29 July 1861 Maraekakaho My dear Donald I hope you will have received my letter of 17th inst with all the weight of the wool and other information. I am happy to say we are all quite well here. I went to the port from Mr Alex place hearing that Keane was in but was disapointed. I got the gross weight of the 17 bales of wool of Stewart & Kinross books which I enclose. Alex did not sell it to them. They only sent it home on his a/c and I trust therefore he will be able to a/c for it in a more satisfactory way than I expected however he should not keep things in
