Wanganui 16th. Oct. 1848. My dear Maclean, Your letter of the 30th. Sept. I duly received and beg to return you many thanks for the trouble you have taken with my concerns more particularly as I am aware how much your time is occupied at present. Will you be as good as store any things you may have got for us till an oportunity occurs to send them here that I think will not be long as King intends leaving very soon, I just heard that he has got his house let or sold to Government as an hospital this of course will hasten his departure and the oats, flour, chairs etc. can be sent by the vessel that takes him to New Providence - I fear you must have made a mistake when
