This house was to serve for another 16 years.

"Friday January 15, 1886
Not got my new thermometer yet. Fraser failed to fetch it this week and there have been no end of other bothers and delays besides. The custom house required full power of attorney ere they would give it up despite a letter from me authorizing Frasers to get it and the fact that the box had care of Frasers Bros. on it. Of the two I almost think the Custom House is more idiotic than the Back in this brilliant land of knaves and blockheads. Fancy and civilized country putting obstructions in the way of is customers."
