I also enclose an account which I recd. from Walter Hallett. I expect if the Wellington has not gone too soon that there will be a couple of letters in the Independent. Worgans daughter is given over from hooping-cough so he is in very little spirits for writing. The a/c of the fire we hadin Napier is in the Hawkes Bay Herald better and fuller than I could give you. Old Mr. Brewer has been in Napier - he goes on by this steamer to Wellington.
