Sir, — Plenty my conntrymens coming to New Zealand. You know hundreds come in three weeks, and plenty more by-and-bye. Lots of young boys come too. Some not know read and write.
Chinaman give plenty money to Government for miners' rights, gold duty, and too much for rice and opium, and business license. Let Government give half share for teach our boys speak English and write, and learn good Confucius.
