A survey of Kawhia harbour and the river has been made by a party from the Pandora; a tracing of which would be most useful to me if you think anything is to be effected there in the forthcoming Summer. Hoping you will excuse this ambling letter, I will conclude by tendering to you my most sincere thanks for your friendship to me; and I assure you it will always be my endeavour to prove myself worthy of the confidence you have reposed in me. I remain, my dear Sir, very truly yours, (Signed) J. Rogan. P.S. The Mail, owing to difficulty in procuring a native, is not yet gone. I send copy of a letter addressed to Cooper by Tiki and Rawiri, of Mokau, on the subject of the Waikato claims to Mokau; which may enlighten you a little. I received a note from Mr. S. stating that Te Kaka called for his present of blanket, etc., the other day; which he considers a good omen. The Mokauites are excessively dark about Rawiri. They are likely to pay us a visit. I mean to write to Takerei by this opportunity, about Poutama.
