12 tommorrow go so as to be near you if I had followers to go with me to a good cause. When I read of the Blue Jackets doing so well I feel so pleased and wish I was among them. Please write me on receipt of this and relieve us from anxiety about you. Alex is quite well. I now remain your affectionate brother Archibald John McLean [Note on transcription: pa Okiro is Pa Whakairo]
