last night. I ought not to have done so but I promised. As Dr Sinclair leaves so soon it does not require so much haste but I feel that the sooner we get settled the better. On Thursday afternoon I will be better able to fix the time and shall see Mamma and Papa on the subject if possible on or before that time. Is it not as well that you should be preparing at any rate? I ordered my boots today and saw the improvements required about the house. I shall soon take a ride to the Hutt. Good night pet and believe me always to be your affectionate Donald McLean Tuesday evening 7 pm. How
