Mr Sergeant Halse and have a bedroom and office at the Crown Commissioner's who also boards at his brother's so that my expenses will not be great. I have got in about £15 of debts lately and in the course of a week I expect more. I am afraid Miss Wicksteed will be long of coming but I must not press a lady. If I notice anything among bachelor goods that you require I shall take care of them for you. Your tin case of course shall not be sold as it was no doubt purchased with a view of keeping your dresses. The Europeans and natives here make various enquiries respecting you and when you are coming up. Mr Govett is getting better. Miss Hunter I have not seen. Mrs Govett laughs at my being married and says how slyly I managed it without saying a word to her.
