ONE THING MISSING
[To the Editor] I Sir,- —I was a visitor to your beautiful j city over the King’s Birthday week-end. i It was my first visit. Your lovely 1 parks, bay and the general layout of the I | city appealed to me very much, more Iso than any place I have seen. So did the people I met—kindly, courteous and friendly: but there was one thing I missed and missed badly, there was nothing to show that Nelson was the oldest place in this Island. No hall of memories or early settlers’ hall such i as they have in my native town, Duntedin. By the courtesy of the girls in the library I was permitted to see your museum (after hours) but was terribly disappointed at its meagre collection of I antiques. No record of the very early days could I find. Wake up Nelson j and show what you can do in this I respect.—l am, etc., # VISITOR. Waimate, S.C., 2nd December.
