E. J. Littleton to Earl Bathurst.
Portman Square, 30th March, 1825.
My dear Lord,—
I have shewn your letter to Mr. Lambton. He concurs with me in begging to assure Your Lordship that we disclaim all projects of conquest in New Zealand, our intentions being purely commercial. And we fully admit the reason and propriety of all the remarks contained in Your Lordship’s letter.
I have, &c.,
E. J. Littleton
The Earl Bathurst, &c., &c.
