Gwavas. 1st. December 1868. Dear McLean, We had really a good meeting at Waipukerau 2 Russells A. Deane 2 Hairnes Duncan Grant.Gollan Drover and several others. Purvis Russell agreed at once to guarrantee 250 or all if necessary. Drover and Gollan joint Guarrantors. With the Waipawa people there was more trouble but today they had nearly made up their Guarrantee. I am afraid Hamden is hopeless notwithstanding
