or £500. The site they have selected is a good one, and very near the Pah I propose they should occupy. Please to consider this matter, and give me your decision before I write you officially on the subject. In your instructions which I received a short time ago, you desired me consider their condition and help them as far as I was able. I wish to give them substantial and lastly help, and this is the course I would recommend. I would also recommend that they be employed in making the road from Whakatane to Ohopi, the only bad port of the road between Tauranga and Opotiki. The portion of the road to be made would be only about 4 miles. The Tauranga natives are pretty quiet. They would be quite so, if these restless Hau Haus would leave them alone. The Hau Haus are up to some deep game which I have not yet been able to find out. Yours very faithfully (Signed) Hy. Ty. Clarke
