12 King William St. E. C. LONDON. 25 Nov. 1875 My dear McLean, I had a pleasant chat with Sir Julius at 64 Harley Street, he was looking wonderfully well. He said he had made up his mind to go out by the ''Somersetshire'' to leave Plymouth yesterday. I have not heard if he has been able to get away. I believe his whole time is devoted to N. Z. affairs. I have also seen Dr. Featherstone. H. Sewell came in whilst I was there looking very melancholy upon N. Z. Affairs. You
