She also enquired after Marianne Brown, [the Plumtrees], Fanny Byron, the Hamsfield Whites, the [Cotherills] and Cams, Mrs Gordon, John, Betty, and Thomas Williams family. Jane then goes on to report of Henry Williams short visit, and of his recent appointment as Archdeacon of Waimate. She complains of her husbands frequent absences and the trials of maintaining their home, mission, flock and family. Jane also comments that Williams impressions of the Bishop George Selwyn had improved, and comments that she believed the Bishop had left the Waimate in more healthy state than he found it. Finally, she writes of "Bishop's Auckland" which she hoped would be a noble place and would " include a collegiate school, native boys school, infant school, hospital, and houses to accommodate the instructors."
