Octavius Hadfield

Oct. 2nd . . . Went early to Kororareka where the Revd. Henry Williams buried a child. Had some conversation with some persons over there, they desire to have a minister among them. Went to Mr. Busby's, dined with him and had some interesting conversation with him. Told him I could not support his proposal—school for half caste children upon the British and Foreign School Society's principles—he purposes altering his plan. . . .
