  • Scope and Content
    . Dear Herbert, Please note I have booked Berth No 382 on "E" Deck, on "Orford" sailing from Tilbury on February 26th, Berth No 234 on "E" Deck on "Oaragni" leaving Auckland on May 17th and Berth No 228 on "B" Deck on "Duchess of Bedford" sailing from Montreal to Liverpool on June 17th. I hope Edith, Mary and yourself will be able to obtain suitable berths on these boats on the dates mentioned. With regard to the passage between Sydney and Wellington it would be best, I think, to leave this open. The SS "Awatea" sails each week between Sydney and Wellington and we could decide in Sydney when to board her. I enclose an itnerary for three weeks sent to me by the New Zealand Travel Service, which will perhaps interest you. Rotorua appears to be the most interesting spot and three days are allowed there in the Intinerary. I understand from a visitor to New Zealand that all the Hotels mentioned are very good ones. Yours sincerely, Sam.
