The "Lucy James" arrived from Manakau yesterday; and it is expected she will sail to-night for Wellington. If so, Rawiri and a native friend of his, will take a passage in her. You will have received an Account before this reaches you, that William Stewart has been suspended. His former derilicitions had not been made known to me, and I supposed him to be one of the most sober and trustworthy men in the Force. With regard to Medland, I am at a loss to advise, but think he would make you a most excellent clerk, as he writes a good hand, and is remarkably quick, besides being tolerably versed in figures. I have only to repeat that I hope you endeavoured to procure us land at New Plymouth, and that your endeavours may be crowned with success; price not to be a consideration. All desire their kind regards. Yours truly (Signed) Henry King. To:- Donald McLean Esq.
