fact I wrote to Minifer & told him to forge ahead. Dad would soon come round into line. Dad will be awfully proud yet & I can see him sitting contentedly in some NZ church & feeling a whole heap more pleased with his future son in law than he is over his own son. You mark my words.
Of course what is worrying the Dad at bottom is that he has a good bis. & he is sorry to part with it. Now I do not see for one moment he should think of giving it up, its a good thing so hang on to it, why on earth you cannot employ labour is something which beats me altogether, not Raetihi girls which would at once create a leakage of information but someone from outside, get somebody good & pay well. Why your business should automatically cease is to me incomprehensible.
