are in an extremity of apprehension and Lambert isn't the man to reassure them -- Westrupp and the women and children with him have not yet been heard of. I don't like to leave the District until I feel it is safe and that can hardly be yet awhile -- If you think there is any way in which I may serve you now, I shall only be glad to do so -- 'Henry Potae' holds the redoubt at Turanganui -- The greatest hope is that the success that has attended the 'Coup' already struck may induce all the enemy's strength to muster in 'Turanga' -- then this place may be weakened for a time. I beg to remain, Dear Sir, Your most obedt.servt. Geo.B.Worgan D. McLean Esq.
