,' , This day. Eowi and the Otovetnor. At the 6rst ltiterriew between Rcwi and the Governor the latter asked Rom if he would, not like to visit ihe South, where the population was greater, and the i industries on a larger scale. Eewi replied it would be nice 1 to go, but ho 'would only do' no when Europeans and Maoriei became united. Rewi also said, he was m a delicate position between Europeans and Maories, and he was anxious to work with the Government, but the Maori King murik be dealt with as! a wild ( or timid animal. Conversation ensued respecting the visit by the Governor to t tire King country. Howi said he would be wiling to meet the Governor at Taupo 'after considering with his own people. Eowi subsequently wrote the following letter:—" Auckland, June 19th, 1879.—T0 Governor Robiuuon.—Salutations,—My first' word to you relates to the boundary of the space of the grotimT'to me and my child Tawhiao of our tribes (meaning the tribes belonging to Tawhiao and llewi). That line is being decided upon by me and my assemblage of chiefs and Sir George Grey and John Sheehan. They hate the papers of that line. I and my ,rangitirfrs say, let (here be no departure from your words or let the word which'is spoken, remain. Agreo to Sir George Grey and John Sheehan. My word is let no nor Europeans generally i come and make confusion relative to the space within thie proposed boundary, so tjkat; what we may,do' or, have.to say may go smoothly along for good, without anything interfering, and so that the ; great things may be arrived at which are cqntemplated to be done.-—Manga Eewi Maniafoto."
