But over these circumstances you had no control. We have however much pleasure in testifying to your willingness to listen to our complaints, and, to the utmost of your power, to remedy our annoyances. In token of our gratitude for your recent kindness, and of our good wishes for your future prosperity, wo beg your acceptance of a purse containing twenty-five guineas, requesting you to procure for yourself a gold watch, bearing the inscription, “ Presented to J. Foster, Esq., by his chief cabin passengers to New Zealand, per ship Joseph Fletcher, 1053.” We have only to add in taking leave of you that we shall be always glad to welcome you to our adopted country’, and vve cordially subscribe ourselves, Yours very sincerely, W. Dyer, Caroline Mary Fisher, Mrs. Sinclair, Bradley Morgan, John C. Neild, M.D., Charles Hetley, Maria C. Neild, Cosby W. Morgan, Edward Lonsdale, E. J. Fisher, S. E. Lonsdale, E. C. A.
