take place in bringing these important matters to a close. Observe, also, that I have been in full expectation for some time past, that he would have resumed his labours at Manawatu; and that several letters of instructions relative to that question, and to another service on which the Government are desirous of employing him, have been sent to the Manawatu, and are awaiting him there, at Mr. Duncan's. (Signed) G. Eyre. 2nd. October 1849. Let this letter be written in duplicate, and sent up to my Office to-day; I will then get a copy sent by the steamer, if she goes that way, and will forward other by some other means. Mr. McLean accordingly, 2nd. October 1849. Letters sent up to Government House.
