last in Wellington "That nothing short of possessing their landed property in the same way as Europeans would content them and that they felt as slaves or children so long as restrictive laws existed debarring them the exercise of their rights as they themselves viewed those rights" - The grievance so far is partly real partly imaginary it has weight however and will have European influence to back it - I have said enough about these Lands over which there has been so much contention but I think you will admit my views have proved themselves pretty correct ones - and that the results have proved them so - I had hoped you might have found time to have sent me a few lines altho: under all the circumstances perhaps I had no particular right to expect it. I shall determine nothing however as to my own future until I do hear from you - I am thankful to say that Mrs. Worgan is recovering her health, but very slowly. She never ceases to grieve over leaving Napier. Hoping for the best, I beg to remain, My dear Sir, Your faithful Servant George B.Worgan
