The account of your visit to the Waikato and the homes of your ancestors has been told to the Government through the wires of the telegraph. I now hear that you are returning to your own hojne, and that you cannot I visif Auckland, as I had hoped you would be able to do. I send you, on the part of Government, a swift message of love to tell you that our heart has been with you in your jouraeyings, and that from the day you 'came to Alexandra we have felt that a new day has dawned upon both Maoris and Euro"peans, and that the work of peace and friendship will hereafter fill our thoughts while we work together in the broad light of ,day. Now it is a matter of grief to me that I was not able to 'meejj' you when you came, because the Parliament was sitting ; but I hope when that is over that we shall be able to come together and discuss what shall be done in the future, so that your work which you have begun shall continue 1 and grow forever. It will ba said here if ter that this work of yours is greater than any that has boen done in the past. I shall look forward to the day when I shall see you and learn from you your thoughts and make known to you my thoughts, so that we may settle the trouble of the past, and make for ever the good ot the future.— From your friend, \V.
