Gold -- This is certainly the point of danger now -- Should any settlement be possible at Taranaki remember that my object is to obtain a cession of all land between the Tataraimaka Block and the Waitera -- King and the hostile natives might be told that their selling this land in the condition of peace and friendly natives might be dealt with most liberally -- I do not think I have anything else to say believe me Yours most sincerely T.
