4 p.m. Saturday. The Meeting called by Hotene has come off, with results such as I feared. Ngatiporo demand to return home; at any rate to Turanga. Paora, Tamihana, Hamaia, alike express their intense dissatisfaction. They have written you on the subject. I am really very sorry, because I feel, that after his lights, the Major strives to do his best. Truly we suffer more from his misgovernment than from the enemy. Even the White population are getting restive. Hotene says that if we move from here that Clyde will meet the same fate as Turanga. Buchanan's position here is a mystery. (Signed) G.W.
