Read a little during the day. Walked out with Major Durie. Saw the back country, which seems well suited for grazing, but of no extent. Neglectful of any Services to my Maker; but hope I may yet return from errors to perform His will, and walk in His ways. Had another visit from William King, to enquire if Te Tupe was writing me more letters, or selling more land. Nothing of interest transpired during the day. Rauparaha came to the Waikanae Pah. Had a conversation with him, accompanied with Major Durie; William King having sent for me to go and see him. William King called to see me again to-day at the office, and Tupe came to offer more land at Waitara.
