I have got quite rid of my cold. The weather is clearing up and when the messenger arrives that I sent to Wellington I shall hasten back to my puss. I am going to write you again by the 12 o'clock mail so that I need add no more at present. Ever your own afft, Donald McLean Monday 16 Augt 1852 Mrs Wilson desires to be most kindly remembered to you and expects a letter from you by next opportunity. Goodbye dearest.
