proclamations far and wide in English and Maori explaining every step that he takes and his for it. We have a right to know, and this reticence for wh. he is so notorious is Grey's greatest fault. Only before he prints in Maori I shd. like to see him get hold of an interpreter. I wonder who Bell's epistle into Maori - Bates? A more disgraceful attempt I never saw. It puzzles all the Maoris and I am obliged to translate it into Maori for them.
