Right of Road secured.

I have the honor to report further that, in concluding this purchase, a right of road has been agreed upon and secured over any part of the block, but more particularly with reference to the coal field, and the construction of a tramway, which in all probability would have to pass through native reserves and other Maori land to the proper landing.

I big also to add that throughout these proceedings Kawhiti gave us his help, and otherwise conducted himself in a manner becoming a chief, whose influence is felt and fully recognised by the largest number of Hapus in the districts north of Auckland.
