CORRESPONDENCE.

A CORRECTION. To the Editor. Sir, —In the personal notes of your issue of even date, you state the late Captain J. .1. Keir founded tils Ifer Zealand Express Co., Ltd., in Wellington and afterwards became its manager. This is not so. The New Zealand Express Co. was founded by the late Duncan Campbell in Dunedin m 1802, who afterwards took into partnership Mr. Harry Crust and became known as Campbell and Crust. Later the late Mr. , Griflin joined the firm, which was afterwards known as the X.Z. Express Co. The company soon afterwards opened a. branch at Wellington many years before the firm of J. J. Keir find Co. came into existence. J. J. Keir never had any connection with the N.2. Express Co. As the eldest son of the late Duncan Campbell I take this opportunity of pointingout the mistake.—l am, etc., JNO. D. CAMPBELL. St. Anbyn Road, Nov. 9. [The paragraph in question was taken from a Wellington paper, which we presumed was reliable. —Ed.}
