good Mr Kinross letter that the news has gone up to Napier. It is quite public down here now. I shall write to Archy today as I think it my dutty to do so and he may feel annoyed at hearing of it from strangers & not from myself. I am so thankful to hear from Anna that you are improving every day in health and Scully told me that you were only four and twenty hours in Napier when you looked a different man.
