Reigate, 20th June, 1849.
My Dear FitzGerald,
—The letter to the N. Z. Company being the first step—the foundation of everything—the premier pas qui coute—ought to be very fully considered, and I think, concerted with some of the leading Directors. It ought to express the whole design; and, above all, there should not be a word in it which you might subsequently wish to alter.
