Duigan, grieves me exceedingly, and brings vividly home the uncertainty of the sojourn here below. Our friendship extended over many years, and the void created will be hard to fill. One of the pleasures I ever had in visiting Wanganui is gone forever, the only consolation beings that the parting is only temporary, ' and one must live in hope of meeting again in the great hereafter.
