(The following Telegrams are all clipped together in the following order, although the dates do not run consecutively.) To:- D. McLean Sept. 22, 1868 I sent the following to Whitmore on 14th. viz., --- I believe no immediate danger exists at Napier. The hostile natives are planting, and when that done I think likely they will pay hostile visit either to Wairoa or Poverty Bay. News now received alters the position I think troops required at Wairoa, their absence amounts to invitation to Hau Haus to attack. (Signed) William Waiapu. To:- D. McLean Wellington. Sept. 22. 1868 1176 to Natives and 340 to Europeans for Natives. (Signed) Edwd. L. Green.
