- But in case he has or should I trust we shall take immediate steps to follow him -- pray if you hear of his getting there send the Sturt at once down here so that Ngatiporou may be started after him Should it turn out that Kooti gets to the Urewera we should have to block the Taupo roads against his return and I feel satisfied Ngatiporou would do the rest. I hope we may get him at Patetere without this additional expense but if not there is nothing for it but to follow him up and the quicker it is done the more effective and economical it will be. Should Ngatiporou be wanted and you unable to come down to get them it will be best for you to write to them saying what has to be done and that they must do for a lump sum -- There will be no difficulty I think and with that help from you I could manage the rest -- I have other things to write you about but I will do so in another letter. Most sincerely do I trust that we shall succee this time in catching our enemy it appears to me that once settl'e that bad lot now together at Patetere and we may hope for the peace we want. I may have later news before this goes and shall add if I have. I will write to Pollen in case you may be absent. Always, Yours very sincerely, J.D. Ormond.
