Burns there and if you chose go into Orowa before any body knew you were there. We shall have a room ready; but I should be glad to hear when you are coming, as I shall have to look up a horse that can carry weight for you. I send a few mems. relating to matters in your departments, and have written to Gisborne who will no doubt shew you my note. George Swainson was found dead in his bed at Marton two nights ago, another melancholy victim to his own weakness. There is no other news. Yours very faithfully Wm. Fox.
