J. E. FEATHEESTON,

Waratah House, Clapham Park, 



March 1st, 1873. 

 Sm, 



I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt 

 of your letter of the 20th ult., and I beg leave to 

 express my warmest tha,nks for the kindly feeling 

 you have expressed on behalf of the Government of 

 New Zealand for my exertions in superintending 

 another shipment of Salmon Ova to that Colony. 



Knowing the great expense the Colonists of New 

 Zealand have incurred in the several attempts 

 previously made to introduce the Salmon, I do 

 most sincerely hope that the Oberon will make a 

 quick passage, and that this shipment may prove 

 eminently successful. 



I have the honour to be, 



Your obedient Servant, 



JAMES A. YOUL. 

 Dr. Featheebton, 



Agent- General for New Zealand.
