Letter From George Nelson 1951
“KEIRUNGA,”
HAVELOCK NORTH, N.Z.
9th November ’51
My dear Henry,
So pleased to get your appreciative letter: it has done me good.
I too, thought Douglas did a good job: he covered the ground well.
What was said & done to honour the memory of the good old Dad was no more than his record entitled him to. If a long life of heavy responsibility nobly borne, constitutes a title to the honour & regard of one’s countrymen, then he has it.
With love from Eliz and me to you both
G.N.
