Wiremu Kingi of the Ngaitae and he is quite of my opinion. Mair has written me a very strong private letter on the subject which unfortunately I have not with me or I would enclose it for your information. Matters are progressing so favorably that I would not have the Urewera disturbed for a good deal. We have never since 1860 had such a prospect of an universal peace. I do not like to write officially on the subject as I have no putake and it might Interfere with your plans, but I urge most emphatically what I have said. Yours very faithfully Hy.T. Clarke
