According to the Samoa Times of October 16, 1925, General Richardson, upon the pressing request of the New Zealand Government, agreed to accept reappointment as Administrator for a further period of two years from March 1926.
"The only reason that induced His Excellency to accept a renewal of Office was that various Native policy matters that he had been successful in securing the support of the Natives to in principle, would be in danger of failing to be put into successful practice if there was a change of Administrator at this juncture."
