—I shall be truly glad to see you on Thursday next.

I hope you will arrange to stay over Monday, as on that day 1 should wish you to meet here some possible Canterbury colonists of the best order. If you can promise to stay till Tuesday, pray let me know, so that I may arrange accordingly.

I am very anxious to know about Godley's health. Complete holyday seemed so desirable for him, that I have been unwilling to write, even for the purpose of asking how he is. If you do not know, perhaps you can easily learn.
