My dear sir, I received enclosed letter this morning with the additional signatures and as the steamer is hourly expected, lose no time in posting them. Katatore, who is in Town with W. Kingi, told the Superintendent that in the event of Ihaia being paid for the Ikamoana, hostilities will be renewed, but I should be disposed to chance that seeing the support Ihaia's offer is backed with - Mahau is very warm in this matter and not at all prepared to admit Katatore's claim to Waingana. In haste, Faithfully yours, H. Halse May 18, 57 To:- McLean Esq.
