A Christchurch relation of General Sir Wm. Birdwood yesterday received a letter from him dated Melbourne, January 30, in which the general said he hoped to bo in New Zealand in June. “Nothing, however,” he added, “is definitely fixed about my dates, etc., nor have I received definite sanction from India to make such an extended tour of this part of the world, hut I hope I shall he permitted to see through what I know will ho a really pleasant time. I am refusing to make any definite engagements in advance, either in any of the States of Australia or New Zealand, for my tour is being arranged by the Government, and naturally I do not like to make engagements which might conflict with official arrangements.”
