Hawkes Bay, Napier, 12 February/67 My dear Sir, May I ask through you for the survey of the Lands confiscated in this Province or immediately on its boundaries consequent on the Omaronui affair. I only seek to be put in the same position which Mr. Locke has been at Poverty Bay and northward on the coast, namely to execute the work at current rates. The sketch map which I made for Government of Poverty Bay will I trust be of service to Capt. Biggs to whom a copy has been forwarded, I would feel much obliged by your obtaining the amount charged for this work, £45, for which I sent in an account, Dear Sir, Yours truly, M. Fitzgerald. His Honor, D. McLean, Govt. Agent.
