is the man who wants to undertake it. He belongs to Paerata's people and will work through Maihi and Hori Ngawhare. I incline to think he will succeed with it, at any rate if it can be done the Ngatiraukawa are the people to do it. I propose to have no public notice taken of the attempt until we see how it goes. It is certainly worth trying - You seem to have plenty of trouble with the Thames Tauranga Mail, possibly this attempt to take the direct road may draw attention from that - If Ngatiraukawa are in earnest about it I feel sure it will go all right - Perenera is a clever useful fellow Since I last wrote you I have had a serious talk with Karaitiana about the Bush and I think he sees he is overdoing his part - at any rate he is going to Tamaki at once to see what he can arrange. As it really rests with him if he does try to arrange it - he can - I told him distinctly that unless the Bush was bought before we want to the Assembly - it was too late - the chances of the Railway wd. be gone.
