Niue Island, 29th May, 1981. Mv Dear Mrs Peryman,— 1 am sending you a letter written by the Niue members of their appreciation for your kindness to Mr Head and myself during our short stay in New Zealand. Y’oti were all good and kind to us, and we shall never forget it. I was very sorry that I couldn t be at the Convention, for I’m sure I would enjoy it very much. I must takp this privilege to thank you one and all for your kindness. We have enjoyed our holiday very much, and your kindness completed it. I enjoyed visiting different members and our Editor and her husband, and their kindness shown to us. In fact, you were all good to us. I learned quite a number of useful things that will help me in our work. I only wish I had some of our members w ith me, for I’m sure they will enjoy the visit. 1 enjoyed the visit Mrs Mowlrm and I paid to the Old People’s Home and the young girls, also various places. 1 take this privilege of saying good-bye to yon all and your fair land. — Your very sincere sister.
