often told me he had paid a long time ago. He got £100 for himself from Smith and paid that. Its rather hard for me to be here keeping a/c and none of the money paid or received accounted for. It makes me feel very doubtful things are not as they ought to be. There is a good many little bills coming in now that he told me was settled before so that I do not know what to say. He gave me £10 to pay some labour at the station and other little things when he left and with that I paid every thing that I new of was owing but now if he does not come back soon I will be placed in dificulties if any bills come in and I cannot pay them. Of course I would never pay any but those I new were correct and not payed before. If you have paid the £80 for me already or put it to his credit at the bank it is very hard that he should come now to crave me for it. Please to let me know how it was done. I have got the Maories now quite satisfied to not do any more about the plains till you or Alexander comes here and then if they are not wanted by us after the back rent is payed they will leace them
