By the end of this tour which also included Australia, he was exhausted and disgruntled and after the tour he suffered a minor nervous breakdown.

Part of the town at time of Princes visit - are you settled down now & how are you getting on old sport & how is the good wife and fine boy. I still have pleasant recollections of our happy association in Wellington - We are both better now & I hope all well with you.
