any misunderstanding should take place and no doubt when Alexr came back he would correct matters. That sort of work will not do if people want to keep there name as it always has been. Williams might have said he would see Alexr about it not to make a lier of one that was trying to do so much for him. I would not like Miss Ogelvey or any other to think that any undue advantage would be taken of her on your account as she might say things in other circles that would not sound well. So get Alex to write them if such was the arrangement and let him stick to it as it appears they have witness enough to prove he did say so. I have taken the youngest of the McLean lads and he certainly for a new comer does first rate. I never had any one here that did anything as well at the first. I need not say any more only I trust you will write how you are getting on and if there is any likelyhood of much disturbance with the natives please tell all. We are quite well and believe Your affectionate brother Archibald John McLean
