Mr Lawrie to Robert Dobson. Napier, 7th January, l890
7th January, l890.
I am much obliged to you for your letter of 28th November, and I shall go to work upon the "Colonial's" business as soon as possible.
It will take some time, but 1 will get to the bed-rock and give you the true position.
I will keep a record of my expenses, and when the work is done I shall be able to say what fee should in my opinion be paid.
