Napier 22/12/70 Dear Sir, I duly recd. your memo: Knowing you to be fully informed from Mr. Ormond on all matters of importance that transpire and more particularly knowing that your time must be more than fully occupied I have refrained from troubling you with my usual scraps of news - besides the Hawkes B. Herald, Do you get it? if not let me know and I will send it - contains very fully all that transpires. The particular and most engrossing topic of the day in Napier is the R. M. Court - or rather that gentleman himself. I must say this for him that he is the most painstaken R. M. or J. P. that I have ever seen.
