agree? I have great confidence in Mr. Weld, he is such a true gentleman. We can hardly expect to have the visit we wish for from you, while you are in office, but it would be pleasant to see you again and I can assure you Col. Browne and I often talk over the old scenes in which you were a prominent actor and we never forget what a true staunch friend you were. Pray mention Douglas when you write, Harold is a good gentle boy and rides like a man but is no great scholar. Miss Greenwood is coming back to us from Nelson which is a great comfort to me. How are Mrs. Curling and Mrs. Ormond? Tell them I asked for them, and believe me dear Mr. McLean, Yours most sincerely, H. Gore Browne.
