should be forthcoming. I want to pay the Ngaiterangi for their Road work I have sent in the Requisition some time ago. I have got the £200 last applied for - but this that you arranged for has not come in yet. I want to get this before I go to Tauranga. Fearful calamity the loss of the steamer "Tauranga" every one on board lost, all through the culpable neglect of the master of a miserable coal boat. Strange that there is no means of punishing these fellows. In haste, Yours faithfully, Hy. T. Clarke.
