As to my visit to New Zealand
it is as yet in nubibus and
the clouds are thick.

A Reform debate is going on in the
Council as I write to you. What this
means you may guess. No one
I am sure can safely predict.
I do not venture to try. If the
session should close soon I will
try: i.e. I will start if I can secure
(say) a week in Wellington.

I shall go overland to Sydney
& return similarly D. V. and
in one or other journey a peep at
Camden is one of my delights.

Nothing but an impossibility to
obtain a passage from Sydney
to Auckland or Wellington will
divert me to any other voyage

William Campbell has
recently sold his Clare station
for about £210,000. He is
intensely disgusted with the
course of affairs here and as
the French say he has reason.
