Description | Thanks for his letter which overvalues any advice he has taken on the Lefroy matter; he will send the cardboard model [of Government House, Tasmania] in a day or two, but encloses the key now; with the box he will be in a positon to negotiate with Lefroy, who should be quite disposed to recognise his claims in such matters. He hopes Gell might be abel to come in September; if he likes shooting, he can wander about with a gun over c.1000 acres which Lord Willoughby kindly lets him have. He was not aware that Gell has such a strong interest in Rhodesian speculation, and asks whether he advises investment. The month is not written clearly as July. On the envelope are marked "Govt. House Hobart" in blue pencil and "Time (Key) Place" in ink; postmarked Lincoln "JY 26 99" |
