My Dear Hutt,

Entre nous, the Company must not stand in the way of any change in the Canterbury plan of sale that may be deemed advantageous: for, as respects the best possible terms of purchase, the Association and Company are one in interest. So Felix adheres to the terms which we settled here; and when the Association shall have adopted them, I will get them adopted by the Company by means of a meeting here of yourself, Aglionby, and others.

I want you to be a Director as soon as possible.
