Waimea Road, Nelson, New Zealand; sent to 'Hon-ble Huia Onsly' [sic] at Ottawa. - Still has Onslow's 'portrait', sent to him from England, on the wall; follows Onslow's fortunes at home and abroad. Was very sorry to hear of Onslow's accident [a broken leg, caused by a fall in the ice in Ottawa] and hopes he has now quite recovered. Seems a long way from here to Canada, but the 'able properties of telegraph' allow better communication.
Adds postscript: often speaks of Onslow to 'many of the old joiners [?] here, who remember with warmth' Onslow's 'pleasing birth amongst us'.
