Napier May 11 1871. Sir, I have taken the liberty of sending you three late issuea of "The Herald" containing two leading articles upon native affairs, and a letter from the natives to the Editor of the "Wairarapa Mercury". I send also the last "Waka Maori". I think you will read them with interest. I am now preparing another issue of "Te Waka". If there be anything you wish to say to the natives of this Province, it will be a good opportunity of giving publicity to it. I am, Sir, Yours very respectfully, James Grindell. The Hon. D. McLean, Native Minister, Napier.
