New Zealand Company's Office New Plymouth Sep. 13, 1847. Sir, I beg to acquaint you that I have published a notice requesting the Purchases of land and Agents in this Settlement to meet here upon business on Wednesday next the 15th. Instant at one o'clock: and as some information will probably be much desired on the subject of the recent purchases made by you for the Crown, I should be obliged if convenient to yourself, by your attending the meeting in question. I have the honor to be Sir Your obedient Servant F.D. Bell. Resident Agent for New Plymouth.
