A letter William Elliot wrote to his son Henry when another son Willie left home for New Zealand.                  
                                 
                                           Peelbrae Hope July 8th 1882
Dear Henry,
               Willies away. I had a letter from him saying he arrived all right at London and was very well put up their. I got another yesterday written on Bord ship and went back with the Pilot Tug. He says they were all in good health and spirit when it left them, they left London on Saturday at eleven oclock forenoon I went with him to Kewcastleton where he joined other three lads, there was our last sad silent parting the last look is engraved in my memory and there it will remain to the last, in a very few moments the train swept him from my sight it may be almost certain to be for ever. May the God in Heaven Earth and Sea protect and guide him in safety to his destination. God grant he may prosper in his adopted country in honesty and at last return to his Native Land in safety amongst you all crowned with honest success and spend the afternoon and evening of his days in peace and plenty, God Bless Him God Bless you all Sons and Daughters alike, is the sincere wish of your Affectionate,
                                      Father Willie Elliot.
