to Wellington. New Plymouth and back again so that I may have it out with you face to face over a reducing tumbler of Campbell Town. I am going over to Grahame's on Monday evening next to see the lovely Jane, I have been to Smith's once only and a more fidgety lot I never hope to meet. I must now round up very much to your disappointment I know but seeing that there is not one single word of news private public or policical and hoping you soon be back again to check some humbugging latent feelings which have lately siezed hold of me I remain yours very sincerely, J. Rogan
