Ramarama Purchase completed. Onewhero, Waikato, 27th December, 1852.

Sir,—

I have the honor to report to you that, in accordance with the instructions contained in the Hon. the Colonial Secretary's blank cover No.—, dated the 7th December, I have marked and settled the boundaries of the Ramarama purchase with the original Native sellers and the owners of the adjoining land, according to the enclosed plan, taken by magnetic bearings, with estimated distances; and that this block, containing about 18,000 acres, is now ready for the Assistant-Surveyor to proceed with the survey.

These boundaries are strictly in accordance with the description given by Jabez Bunting at the date of the purchase in 1844.
