The following letter, from the Rev. H. H. Lawry, is additional evidence, and substantiates the statements made by the Rev. Thomas Buddle, and by myself, as to the objects for which the grants were made by Governor Fitzroy in 1844, before Sir George Grey's arrival, who made grants to our Church or Mission for educational and other purposes, as set forth in the grants.

I should here state that what Rev. H. H. Lawry speaks of as Mission is our Maori Mission.
