Do you think I should be acting wrongly if I cross over to the other side of Aotea, and on to Kawhia, when things take a more settled turn that they are at present? Of course I shall not think of going there unless asked. There is a box of apples here for you. I expected the "Luna" to take it on her return from Manukau, but she did not call. I will send it up to One-hunga by next cutter. Hoping you are well I am My dear Sir Yours very faithfully (Signed) R.J. Bush. To:- Hon. D. McLeanWellington.
