Perfmor of the Editor of tlie Smoke's BaylTerald. To Me. H. B. Seaxt, of Napier. Deae Sib, — I have read in the Hawke's Bay Times of yesterday your long letter concerning me ; and am thinking your own {t second thoughts" wilt scarcely approve of it. Homer makes Jfineas say to Achilles — Reproach is cheap : with ease we might discharge Gibes at each other, till a ship that asks An hundred oars should sink beneath the load. Had you been returned instead of me, I. would not strive to weaken you on your entering the field j on the contrary, I would gladly have aided you against our Provincial foes.. I leave to-morrow for Auckland per Zephyr. "Five valetque. Yours truly, W. COLENSO. Napier, Friday, July 19, 1861.
