Ahuriri, 20th. Dec. 1852. Dear Mac, Not receiving a single line from anybody by the Rose this time, I presume I have got leave of absence but that through some neglect or another the letter giving it has not been sent. I send you a tracing of the new piece added to Hapuku' block also a note from Christian about his town. When you left you did not say that you wished their town done and farthermore Hapuka Pakera and her Majesty were all against my marking it off for the other mob, as they had behaved badly in the affair of the R. Catholics - my excuse to all parties for and against was that I had other work to do of more importance and I did not wish to mix myself up in their squabbles having had no positive orders to survey it. Pukera says now that if the other party is unwilling to sell to his Pakehas that he will sell all his interest in the land on the Plains to the Queen as he is determined not to be thwarted by the enemy. You see it works so wll by being let alone that I think I am right in not doing anything to the Town until I hear from you. Christian party say the R.C. 's may remain as long as they like but they will not sell. Colenzo called upon me to look at maps, and he was d - d civil but it will not go down. He made apology for not having called before, etc., but the look and language of the man is enough to stamp him a hypocrite he is the third I have met in New Z. of the same stamp and appearance and the other two Stokes of the Gazette and Kettle of Otago I know to be both liars who assume the cloak of godliness for their worldly purposes alone. I am afraid that you will have left for Taranaki by the time this reaches Well, but hope not. I had almost forgot that the Queen wishes particularly to have her cap and veil sent up Immediately - good that for a present. I suppose she is afraid of her complexion getting spoilt by the sun. Complts. to Mrs. Mac. and Believe me Yours Robert Park. P.S. I sent the shells direct to the Gov. in case you had left. I picked the best for him.
