Description: The Rev Charles Nelson proposing on one knee to Sophia Coates on the top of Mount Victoria, Auckland, on a windy day, with a flagpole with signal flags behind the couple. On the left, other men and women are struggling up the hill against the wind. The sketch is drawn to illustrate a letter written by the artist's wife Kate to her sister Anna. Sophy Coates is much taller than Mr Nelson. Her parasol is blown inside-out by the wind. The sketch forms part of the letter, which is on a single sheet, with writing on both sides and the sketch in the final section. Attribution based on reference in extended title to Charles Heaphy's presence at the picnic in question; style of drawing; handwriting of title below image. Date of 1874 or 1875 based on the fact that Charles Moseley Nelson and Georgiana Sophia Coates married in 1875 Location: Initially assumed by the Library to show Wellington's Mount Victoria, with signal station. However the couple becoming engaged were based in Auckland, where the artist also lived until the late 1870s. In addition, the Auckland Freemasons had an annual picnic on Mount Victoria, Auckland. Extended Title - He you know is very small, she is a "fine girl". Mr Heaphy will talk about a little boy sparrow and laugh, but she is much larger than he is. Sophy Coates and Mr Nelson, that is how it came about. Mr Heaphy was at the picnic so must know. Inscriptions: Recto - Title in Charles Heaphy's hand below image. Extended title above and below image in Kate Heaphy's hand. Likely to have been drawn while Heaphy was resident in Wellington between 1872 and 1878. Quantity: 1 drawing(s).

Context: The Search and Surveillance Bill was passed by Parliament on 22 March 2012, giving powers exercised by police in its heavily criticised 2007 so-called "terror raids" in Ruatoki to a number of government agencies.
