truthful in the main - As you will have heard Manuhiri's wife is dead. Paul goes up in a few days - H.T. Clarke here on way to Wellington - Natives at the Bay holding a large marriage Feast. Ihaka te Tai's son - Hira te Popo returned yesterday to Opotiki - received all the attention you desired. Sheehan comes back in time for the Council, and McCormick would like to know something of the matters in view. Believe me Faithfully H.T. Kemp
