see the Ngatihaua. I feel rather anxious to know what is moving amongst them. Everything is perfectly quiet as far as I can make out at Waikato -nbut let them be never so quiet one likes to know what is going on. Speaking of Mr. Thorpe and his anxiety to arm the Ngatio I send you a note I have just received from him. I rendered Bay of Plenty accounts into Paymaster's office yesterday. And will send in an official Report giving an abstract of the Expenditure under different heads.
