Letter

Scope and Content

From Edward Petter to his wife Angee, from Auckland, New Zealand. He will write again before he leaves Auckland the following day. Business has gone well; he has taken orders for P & F (Peek Freans) and D & M [Day and Martin boot blacking company]. He visited the City Hall where he once heard Mr Arundel preach and enjoyed hearing the gospel being preached by a prominent lawyer and barrister in the town. He spoke to one of the company, mentioning that he was a friend of Mr Arundel and if it were possible he would be grateful of the opportunity and privilege of speaking next Lord's day evening, which he was invited to do. He tells Angee that there were between 400 and 500 people at the meeting. He is looking forward to receiving letters from home when he reaches Wellington.
