[First page/s missing. Written ca July-August 1864] If you will be in Auckland I will send them with Kean the next trip if drays will be going down about that time. I sent you Newton's account. I never got the account rendered so I cannot send it you. Of course that was private and kept from me but that amount could not have been used cash. However it is a matter for Alex to settle with you when you meet and I hope he may be able to gave you every satisfaction. Mr Smith came yesterday wanting payment for the £40 and I was oblidged to gave him an order on Rich for the amount to get it payed of but I have a small bill against Smith about £10. He said he would not settle till Alex came home as Alex told him not to for provisions & timber he got time of shearing & some few fleeces that was shoren with his.
