A Compendium of Official Documents Relative to Native Affairs in the South Island. Volume Two.

[Letter from Alexander Mackay regarding memorandum written by H. T. Clarke]

With reference to the above, Mr. H. T. Clarke writes, in a Memorandum, under date 6th April, 1868, on a letter addressed by Mr. I. N. Watt, to the Native Minister on this subject:—

"Mr. Watt's impression with regard to the £2000, retained out of the purchase money of Stewart's Island, is correct. The interest upon it was to be expended for educational purposes, for Natives resident in the Southland Province, as it was generally understood that the educational interests of the Natives in the Otago and Canterbury Provinces had been cared for when the Natives sold their land in those Provinces.

"Alexander Mackay.
"Native Commissioner."
