Enclosure 4 in No. 5.
Mr J. J. Symonds, P.M., to the Agent of the New Zealand Company, for New Edinburgh.

"Deborah," off Waikawaite, 22nd April, 1844.

Sir,—

Understanding from your verbal communication of this morning that you do not feel yourself bound to acquiesce with the wishes of His Honor the Superintendent of the Southern District, respecting the survey of land not alienated by the aborigines, and observing that you are about to commence a survey of the Waikowaite, in direct opposition to instructions I have received from him on this subject, I have the honor to inform you that I cannot sanction, by my presence, proceedings so opposed to the wishes of the Government.

I have, &c.,

John Jermyn Symonds, P.M.

The Agent N.Z. Company for New Edinburgh.
