Sir,—

I have the honor, by direction of His Excellency the Governor, to request that you will use your endeavours to effect a complete settlement of the claims of the Natives to the Kaiwa Block, recently purchased by you in order that it may be handed over to the Province with the least possible delay, as emigrants from Nova Scotia are now waiting to settle upon it.

I have, &c.,

Assistant Native Secretary.

District Commissioner, Whangarei.
