B Adderley These extracts, simple as the current of ordinary conver sation, exhibit, at least to some extent, the sterling character of mind which made so many men of mark hold Godley in such high estimation. There are, no doubt, many of his letters more studied than these, and well worth publishing - none more so than some on political subjects to the-duke of Newcastle, all of which the Duke told me that, entertaining the Opinion invariably formed of Godley by all his acquaintance, he had carefully preserved. I know that you have kept a large correspondence extending over many years, and including the completest history of the Colony of which you and he were the principal Founders, which illustrated the revival of National Colonization, whose chief Port bears your name, its seaward headlands bearing mine and Godley's.
