Friend Mr McLean,—
Your friend Mr. Searancke has arrived here. I did not see him. On the 10th instant I arrived at Tamahere. He also arrived at Maungatautari on that day, and sent on his letter from that place, informing me that he was going to Te Waka; I waited for him, but did not see his face (see him personally). The letter brought by him is being considered since he left.
