Ashcott 21st. November 1868 My dear McLean, Reports are rife here, that the Hau Haus are coming through the 70 Mile Bush, from Wairarapa, or West Coast. The natives at Te Ka Kini Pah alarm. Mrs. A'Deane is in a great state of alarm, and goes to bed every night with the expectation of a visit from these fanatics to murder her children.
