No. 4.
The Under Secretary, Native Department, to Mr. A. Mackay.

Native Secretary's Office, Wellington, 2nd April, 1868.

Sir,—

In reply to your letter of the 3rd of March, 1868, in which you suggest that 150 acres should be taken at Waikawa, instead of at Hakataramea, as a Native Reserve, and that an additional 150 page 234acres should be bought at the same place, I am directed by Mr. Richmond to inform you that your recommendation is approved. It is not, however, proposed to abandon Te Kapa's pa, as suggested by you. An authority for £300 will be forwarded to the Paymaster at Christchurch for the purpose.

I have, &c.,

H. Halse,
For the Under Secretary.
