Colonial Secretary's Office, Auckland, 21st December, 1863. Sir, — The General Assembly has appropriated out of the Colonial Revenue for this year, the sura of Two thousand pounds (£2000), towards a Patriotic Fund for the support of the wives and families of those of Her Majesty's Regular and Colonial Forces who have fallen, and imiy hereafter fall, in the course of the present war in this Colony. I am sure that the inhabitants and Le islatures of each Province will be anxious to contribute to a fund which has for its benevolent object the succour and relief of those who, by the loss of their husbands and parents in battle, or by death on active service in the present war, are unable to maintain or support themselves. I gladly, therefore, invite your Honor's co-operation in this matter, by requesting you to be good enough to give general , publicity to the intention of the General Assembly, and to take such other steps as may appear to your Honor to be calculated to give it additional effect. I have the honor to be, &c, Fred Whitaker, Por the Colonial Secretary. His Honor the Superintendent, Southland.
