I therefore have the honor to accept your invitation, and will take an early opportunity of addressing the electors. Having been amongst the first to invite Sir Julius Vogel to stand for Ashburton I shall, iLreturned, be prepared to support whatever measures be may bring forward in the interests of the Colony. I am, Gentlemen, Your very obedient Servant, EDWARD Q. WRIGHT. To Donald Williamson, Esq., and the other gentlemen signing the requisition.
