Auckland May 12th. 1847. My dear Sir, Your requisitions for "Skins of parchment= and for a copy of Ordinances passed previous to last Session, have been approved. As they cannot be sent by the Overland Mail, we will wait an opportunity by sea, which I hope will occur soon. During last week the Scotch Presbyterians in Auckland have subscribed no less a sum than £1100 for the erection of a place of worship; and we hope soon to double that amount. The matter has aroused the national feeling, which it is very pleasant to see engaged in such a good cause. I remain My dear Sir, Yours truly (Signed) A. Sinclair. To:- D. McLean Esq.
