To:- D. McLean Wellington. September 24th. 1868. Wairoa. Karaitiana has come in from a scouting party. A native came with him who has been amongst the exprisoners. The pah at Puketapu is finished. Do not want to fight but will do so if Europeans go there. This is from a letter to Karauria from Toha. Bishop mistrusts the actions of the natives generally very much. Koti was wounded in the leg at Ruakituri. (Signed) Fannin.
