Please say to Dr Hitchens if he enquiries that I do not feel so well as I did when I left Napier. The little girl had left before I got home so I have no assistance at present. I intend to write Mrs Wilson and ask her to loan one of her young girls for me. I was very much pleased to see Maraekakaho look so tidy. John told us that on Friday night he had had six gents & four horses for the night. I have no doubt whatever but it will become profitable in time. My dear brother
