You will notice what Porter says in Telegram enclosed in official about Ngatiporou being eager for a go in at Waikato - I think you will have to be firm in insisting on the Murderers being given up or it will tell very much against you - There is strong feeling about it and it is being used all over the Colony against the Govt. If you could only separate Rewi - it wd. do a power of good to humble Mr. Tamati and the King Waikatos - I must close it is late and I tired - I hope you may be able to come down here for a time but scarcely expect you can leave if Waikato keeps as at present. Always, Yours very truly, J.D. Ormond.
