rather disgruntled at the flattering position he holds as stated of the Ministry - he seems awfully downhearted. Holloway who reported for Mr. Wood intends proceeding by this steamer to Wellington. You might find him very useful. The death of the Trooper Neward has been recd. with apathy by the Public. They seem surprised at nothing and accept everything as a matter of course. I expect to hear at any hour that the other 6 whose bodies were not found with the 9 have been found elsewhere. I enclose 2 native letters - recd. from Hamlin - they may be of use. Your Honor will be kind
