13th October 1905.  

It was genuine pleasure to me to receive your cordial note,  

Dear Mr Deakin,  

which although it missed me on the "Mongolia" reached me in this country few  

days after my arrival.  

thank you for your enquiries with reference to my health. am  

glad to say that continue almost surprise to myself as well as to my people  

in this matter and have accomplished something since saw you. The Motor  

Campaign in this country could not but be strain upon me, but on the whole  

do not think have suffered.  

Now we shall, all well, be writing to you in more formal, suppose  

ought to say offie ial,manner next week with reference to the Emigration  

proposals which have made to you by cable and which have excited great deal  

of attention here and from what can gather in Australia also. This, although  

dictated, is private communication.  

Now you will remember what you said to me and you will have some  

knowledge of what was said to me by others when was with you on the subject of  

Emigration. When arrived in Australia had no expectation that anything of the  

kind would be possible, but the matter really did come before me again and again  

in way which gave me considerable hope that Australia was coming to see what  

had seen and said years ago was necessary for her future prosperity population.  

Just as returned to London found "The Times" describing your  

project ed
