A lovely day, not as hot as during the last week. Got the mare shod (cost six shillings) and Henry rode her afterwards on to the Plains and liked her gait exceedingly. A meeting of land purchasers at one o'clock—settled that the name of Christchurch^* should be continued. Concluded bargain with Greig for a lease for a year at Christchurch at £5 a year. Mr Willock called and detained me the whole morning from page 115my letters with his complaints. Andy, Griffin, Caughey & Abernethy putting up a warre^* for themselves next door to us.
