My dearest Douglas In the course of a few days I shall be under way for Wellington and shall not delay very long on the road at any rate I will push hard to be with you at Xmas. I hope Mama is recovering her strength with this delightful weather. I am thinking of you every hour or minute in the day and shall be really happy when I again kiss my own dear little pussy. I send this by a Mr Harris who is leaving for Wellington by way of Wairarapa today. Mr Williamson
