Wellington, Ist July, 1874. Continuation of immigration after July.—lf you will read my telegram again, you will see that the action I was to take depended upon your answer, and that I did not anticipate your telegraphing to Auld. Now the consequence will be, that Auld will hare information in advance of Agent-General, which will no doubt cause dissatisfaction on both sides. I shall telegraph as soon as possible. Will you, by mail, write to Auld, and explain how it was that you telegraphed. On referring to my telegram you will clearly see that I anticipated your answering it. His Honor the Superintendent, Dunedin. Julius Vogel.
