three year old wether now among the flock to cover all that but if you require payment for them I will settle by the end of next month and I would like to have an understanding how we stand for last year and this. Your illness last year prevented us having any settlement about interest. I gave you an a/c of £50 that I had paid out in different ways but that was all. You never said what you were going to allow for wool money last year and it will be better to have matters properly arranged as I would either borrow the money by bill and pay you your interest yearly than have any unpleasantness about it. You know very well it has cost me a good deal in improvements the last two years in wages and stores and by dairying I have managed to pay my way with a great struggle. I do hope you will try and pay us a visit and then we will be able to square up for at Napier you are always to busy to do anything but gov. Of course all will go well with election. I have a vote for Hamden now. Always your affectionate brother Archibald John McLean
