An Epitome of Official Documents Relative to Native Affairs and Land Purchases in the North Island of New Zealand

No. 63. — Copy of a Despatch from the Right Hon. the Earl of Carnarvon to Governor the Most Hon. the Marquis of Normanby

No. 63.
Copy of a Despatch from the Right Hon. the Earl of Carnarvon to Governor the Most Hon. the Marquis of Normanby.

Downing Street, 14th February, 1877.

My Lord

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch No. 61, of the 14th of December, informing me of certain changes in the Administration of New Zealand. I regret that loss of health should be the reason through which the colony loses the services of Sir Donald McLean, a gentleman whose ability in dealing with Native affairs has been very conspicuous, and whom but recently I had the great satisfaction of recommending to the Queen for a mark of Her Majesty's favour.

I have, &c.,

Carnarvon.

Governor the Most Hon. the Marquis of Normanby, K.C.M.G., &c.
