A SEDGWICK BOY

LETTER TO THE HIGH COMMIS- ; SIGNER. FHOM OPR SPECIAL , CORRESPONDENT. LONDON, April 13. An interesting letter from ono of the Sedgwick boys in New Zealand was received this week by Sir Wm. Hall-Jones, High Commissioner • for New Zealand, It is written by Harold M. Thomas one of the LivenxKvl section of tho party of lads whom Mr T. Sedgwick recently conducted to the Dominion to take up farming life there. Younsr Thomas is now in the employ of Mr David Caldwell, of Wairurn Tolago Bay, and his letter runs thus;— “Dear Sir William, — “I have great pleasure iu informing: vou that my expectation? of New Zealand arc being fulfilled. I simply enjoy this • life. It is , much more jolly than being shut up in an office all day 'T run getting on quite nicely. I can now milk, ride, and do a little sheep work—very little,' of the latter, I am afraid; ho-wever, T will-soon master it. "I am with very nice people, and they are very kind to-me, I think all the other bovs are enjoying themselves. They can't help it, I can assure you.” The writer of this letter is the lad who made such an effective little speech on tlie occasion of Sir William Hall-Jones s visit to Liverpool to insoect the Sedgwick contingent there. The High Commissioner remembers him well, and is vorv pleased to receive from tho lad such a satisfactory assurance that he and his motes are enjoying their new life in the Dominion.
