I will also take the responsibility to carry out the instructions you issued to Mr. Heale at first sitting of Court at Ohinemuri One word about prisoners taken at Opotiki what ever you do please do not let either Te Tanaro or Tamati Tarahau have their liberty we shall bitterly repent it if you do - do not even send them to Ropata or place them in any Natives' keeping In great haste Yours faithfully Hy. T. Clarke
