A distant overview of Havelock from the Grove Track. The view follows the Township along to the protruding Havelock Wharf. The Picton-Grove bridle-track was under construction by May 1862 and the dray road from the Grove Wharf to Mahakipawa (9 miles from Havelock) was almost cleared in 1863; the Mahakipawa to Havelock section followed on.

Well here I am again at 10am, Wednesday at the Hotel doing my work and Avery is also at it. We had a good parade last night Havelock only 2 missing one gone to Nelson & the other to Spring Creek. We had about 50 people looking on. We arrived here at 3.30pm it was very warm riding up the valley, we left Blenheim at 9.30am. We leave here this afternoon for the Grove but it's only 9 miles so we are coming back after drill and go on to Canvastown tomorrow afternoon. I am in the best of health darling and I hope you are the same and will continue so. Hope Edie is getting on all right. How does the toddler like being home again. Will now close with lots of love
Signed:
Your ever loving husband Jack
