NICE LETTER’ BROUGHT MIGRANT TO NEW ZEALAND
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, This Day. New Zealanders write good letters. Or at least some of them do, because a reply to a letter sent to the New Zealand Government by C. R. Smith, of Harrowgate, Yorkshire, persuaded him to gather his family, sever his ties with his native England and emigrate to New Zealand. ,Mr Smith, a civil engineer by profession arrived on the Corinthic yesterday with his wife and two bonny fair-haired daughters. A few years ago with a view to emigrating he sent a letter to each British Dominion.
||The reply I received from New Zealand was the nicest of the lot,” he said, “and sb we decided to come' out here.” He added that the New Zealanders he had met were extremely friendly and obliging, and this com--1 bined with the fact that nearly everybody he spoke to at home said New Zealand was the best proposition finally persuaded him to make the plunge. They will live' in Wellington.
