me to put you in mind of a small balance between you and him - the account he says is Dr. Dond. McL. in a/c with Mr. G. Cr. £. s. d. To acct. 49. 12. 0. By Sett. to credit of D. McL. 45. 7. 0 1/2 £ 4. 4. 11 1/2 leaving you in his debt £4.4. 11 1/2. You mention in your last that you had not time to write more fully p. the Brig. If you have not written before this do so, and let it be a long letter. Townsend wrote to Mr. Walsh some time ago he was then in the Bush. Are you always going to spend your days as an Old Batchelor at Taranaki You say you have great caperings about as a Have you room for a Sergt. Major, or I would not be very particular if you made me : generally speaking not the worst birth. The Governor has it in contemplation to have a road made between this and Taranaki, if he does and the balance you owe is either £1.5. or £1.15. I think £1.0.0. would settle the a/c if you wish. Mr. Hill has an addition of a young son to his family. All well and Miss H. here for you still. Yours ever, Dr. Dan, Jas. Kennedy.
