Now puss I have had one talk over with the natives, perused some letters, shall have a further korero shortly, then I trust today will finish my work at Mr Robinson's. Afterwards I shall go up the river to Kebbel's whose lady I hear is in a fair way of enlarging her family so that the chances are I will not stop there as I hate being near such places. At any other time it would be all right to stay there for a night or two. Bathe, read and walk and be sure not to ought after sunset. Ever your own afft husband Donald McLean
