28 July 1860 Maraekakaho My dear brother I received your note the other day and was glad to hear you and Douglas was well. I am happy that the boy is the better of his trip. I am sure a few months in the country would do a great deal of good to him. I hope you will let him come hear in the summer. Tell him if you don't send him I will go for him. I got home the day after you left but I do not feel strong but getting better dayley. We have had cold winds and bad weather since you left but our lambs are over danger before the bad weather set in.
