Napier Novr. 17th. 1873. Dear McLean, The Rangatira is in but she brings no news. My Lincoln sheep have come up by her and I am just going to the ship to see them. I enclose a letter from the Wairoa people. It wd. do good if you cd. manage to call in there and pay a visit when you go up the coast. I think the tide then was turned as it doubtless will elsewhere shortly. Yours always, J.D. Ormond.
