New Plymouth 6th. Sept. 1860. My dear Sir, Will you be good enough to cause it to be notified in the Maori language how much I approve of the late conduct of the Eriendly Natives of the Waitera - such conduct will always be appreciated by me - whilst on the other hand any Native who shall be found to act with duplicity will be liable to punishment. Believe me Faithfully yours, G.T. Pratt. D. McLean, Esq.
