Reverend Sir,—

In accordance with the wishes of a Select Committee of the Provincial Council, I have the honor to request that you would attend at the office of the Secretary for Public Works at 10 o'clock a.m. to-morrow, to give evidence relative to a reserve of the water frontage of the City of Dunedin, and any alienation of the said frontage; and to bring with you any documents that may throw light upon the subject of such reserve, or such alienation, if made, that you may have.
