Content Summary:: Neither she nor Andrew have relatives in Victoria and have yearned to see cousin Helen in New Zealand to talk of Jessie's death; being on the coast has done her much good; is having a headstone put on Maggie's grave; Andrew believes that James Hoey did not change and that he was always selfish and thoughtless - she thinks Mary Hoey is also as she has never written to her about the children; worried about Tom who drinks and then acts wild and who has had no success on new diggings; wife of Rev. Andrew Robertson spent days away from home drinking in shantys and was found by the police lying in the bush; he has sent her away apparently to a sister in New Zealand.
