No one can better inform you as to the form than the Captain himself, who, I hear, is along with you at Ihupuku; where I hope to hear you are still continuing on good terms with the natives. Do not forget to write me; and believe me to remain, my dear Cameron, Sincerely yours (signed) Don. McLean. (undated copy) Dear Capt. Campbell, I am delighted to hear there is a chance of your riding round to see Taranaki with Dr. Wilson; and although you will think me most remiss in not writing you before now, I am sure you will excuse my not prolonging this letter, when in daily expectation of seeing you. Our settlement is at present in a very quiet and prosperous state. The settlers are moving out to their country land, and roads are being opened, that explore a considerable tract of fertile country. One or two good settlers are expected from Wellington; and there is a fair reason to hope that our settlement will become in a few years a most prosperous one. (unsigned copy.)
