From Major-General f. Stoddard, R.A., Onehunga, Auckland, N.Z. Onehunga, Auckland,

My Dear Irving,—I consider your plan of taking a few young gentlemen on a tour to America and Europe an excellent one. It would greatly benefit them to see the world. I think, indeed I am sure, they could not have a better guide and companion than yourself. I hope you will succeed. I will write my nephew in New South Wales to call upon you. Of course you can refer to me if it will help on your plans. As already said, I am sure you will be an excellent mentor to anyone committed to your charge. Wishing you success and all the compliments of the season, believe me, yours sincerely,

J. Stoddard.

M. M Irving,

Esq., Sydney.
