Turanganui January 3rd. 1869 My dear McLean, Please expedite the shipping of all the ammunition that can be got hold of, - more especially Enfield, Ngatiporou are extravagant shooters, and have spent 24 hours steadily pouring volleys into the Pa; so that our reckonings may fall short. Biscuit is never amiss; three or four small strong bottles chloroform. Our main stock in a large bottle all leaked out on the way up. Have them firmly fastened, and packed tight in boxes.
