This delay has, however, one great advantage. The people will have time to consider well the subject; and as Ta Kerei remarked to me, the boundary may be decided inland when Mr. Cooper's Committee takes place. Letters have been received from the Pakare, unfavourable to the sale of land; accompanied by a letter to Ta Kerei, from Mr. Whitely; copies of which I send you. These documents have no effect on the people of this settlement.(Maniaroa.) Mr. Schnackenberg; whose assistance is most valuable here, tells me a jealousy between the two Chiefs exists; because letters are written by you to Ta Kerei only. A note from you to the Kaka might purchase the Coal Mines. You have secured the one; and it is no difficult matter to take the other. I remain, my dear Sir, Yours very truly, (Signed) John Rogan.
