were in this state I received a letter from Mr. Domett about his land Run and Sheep. In a P.S. he asks "who is likely to be your Superintendent I hear Tiffen and Cooper's names mentioned I dont think they are fit men and surely better can be got. I do not state this because I have any particular wish for the office myself altho I shd. have no objection to act if the Council thought proper to elect me". I do not suppose Domett wrote this in the belief that I would mention it to any one but having done so to two or three of his friends the news spread with wonderful rapidity --- forth comes a letter from Tom Fitzgerald or as Domett
