Ormond, no doubt, keeps you informed, about Te Kooti, etc. I hope to get to Napier and Taupo by the end of April. I want to see what has been done with roads The Governor will get to Christchurch overland from Otago about end of this week; thence, weather permitting, Hokitika, where he wants "Luna" to call for him about 10th. I don't see how the "Luna" cab be made to fit in with all the demands upon her; but His Excellency can get here in one of McMeekan's boats. Yours very sincerely in haste, (Signed) William Fox.
