Sub-Enclosure to Enclosure in No. 41. Miss Montague to Dr. Pollen. Dear Sir, — Auckland, 9th January, 1873. I have heard from my sister Catherine on the 14th October, and she has not heard from the Agent-General in London. Yet she tells me in her letter that she wrote to the agent in London, and he told her he had no instructions for a passage. It is very strange others have heard from the agent and she has not. I think it must have gone astray some way or other; and I wish you would be so kind as to see about it. Perhaps it is on account of the directions; if they can be changed, will you do so. I have, &c, Dr. Pollen. Bridget Montague.
