15 April 1863 Warleigh My dear Donald As Mr Ormond is going down I send you by him Warren's a/c as near as I know. I paid him for his wool for the year 1860 by cash £21.6 ballance for wages £3.3.11 Total £24.9.11. Total sheep shorn of his for 1861 237 @ 2/ per head £23.14 And he was allowed lambs 101 @ 1/ per head 5. 1 Total £28.15 You will understand that Alexander will have to charge or sell him so many rams for the year 1861. I believe that Alexander paid him part of the £28.15 but what part I do not know, but I believe some £10 or twelve pounds. Their for last year 1862 the number of sheep after deducting 3 per cent for loses shoren for them was 328 @ 2/ per head wool money £32.16 but they would have to pay out of that for rams for last year or buy them, so that is how they stand up to this year which I have not made out or was requested to do so. I do wish all those affairs were once settled and of my mind. If I am to keep them I would like a proper understanding but if you are going to keep them yourself I want to gave you them all over with the information I have regarding them. I am very busy and of course I cannot look much after them at Maraekakaho but I have kept a/c of all the sheep that was bought from Oliver & Ormond. The wethers you have sold you have an a/c of. I do wish they would finish the drafting and get done with that work and send the wethers up here. As regards Mr Ormond, he is still here and
