If you do me the honour of electing me, every inteiest of the Province shall leceive a fair consideration at my hands, and no exertion shall be wanting on my part to develope the resources of a country, which I believe to possess all the elements of prosperity. I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, J. Salmon. Auckland, sth July, 1852.
