Government House, New Zealand, Novr. 23, 71 My dear McLean, Thanks for your note, I have nothing to send now, but I have promised to visit Marlborough the only Province not yet visited, next month. I shd. like to go about Decr, 10. The "Luna" can visit the Lighthouses and etc., while I am on shore, and Hector wishes to take the opportunity of some scientific researches in Pelorus and Queen Charlotte's Sounds. I fear we shall be greatly crowded in the "Luna" next Monday. Ever yrs. G. F. Bowen
