has, however, commenced his old tricks with the girls; and differed so seriously with them last night and this morning that they bundled his traps out of doors. He is now back with me again; but how long he will remain here it is difficult to say. The great question here, is Kawhia; and I am glad, whatever may occur in that place, that we are perfectly free from interference in any way. You have paid no money for land; and I have not surveyed any. It will, therefore, he difficult to trace the "he" to us. Waikato talk of assembling in a body at Auckland to sell some of Kawhia; but they don't expect to succeed; and after that, the difficulty, if any, will arise between themselves. The natives here are busy with their Huis. I have not yet finished the survey of Motukokako; but a very short time will finish that matter. Hoping to hear from you soon, I remain, my dear Sir, yours faithfully (Signed) J. Rogan. To:- Donald McLean Esq.
