March 11th. 1871. Subsequent to the date of my Confidential Memo, of the 4th. inst., I have had an interview with the Ngatinianiapoto Chief, Rewi. A section of the Ngatinianiapoto Chiefs, with whom I had been in regular communication since my visitt to the Waikato in November 1869, came to Alexandra on hearing of my arrival there; and expressed a desire that I should go on to Te Kangamutu, and hold a conference with Tawhiao, Manuhiri, and Rewi. I declined to do so, as the murders and other wrongs committed since my last interview would not justify me in visiting them until the perpetrators were given up. As far as Rewi himself was concerned, he had kept faith with me, and had urged the Waikatos to give up the murderers. I therefore agreed to see him, if he would meet me without much delay. No time was lost; as, on the receipt of the message, Rewi mounted his horse at once, and rode down with only one attendant.
