out again. I am very anxious to do something better than the way I am and if Henton has not taken the ship perhaps you might see through my plans and assist me in them. I would do anything to be clear of the annoyance I have to put up with with the state of things at preasant and if you find that Henton has not taken the ship they told me they were going to advertise for one to take her home, but I never mentioned about my going. It is on the route down today. I was turning the matter over in my mind. I was asked if I would like to take her but I gave no incouragement at all. I hope you will not be anoyed at this idair of mine till you see me and I fully explain it. Your affectionate brother Archibald John McLean
