The diary begins with brief entries describing McLean's departure from Hawkes Bay, pleased with the land dealing progress he had made, and his travels through Manawatu, the Kapiti coast and Wellington. At Wellington he he met with George Grey and was confirmed as Chief Land Purchase Commissioner. There is a three month gap in the diary between late June and late December (during which time McLean was in Wellington, and got married) before it recommences in with a journey to Hawkes Bay via the rough Wairarapa coast.
