Auckland June 9th, 1870 My dear McLean, I send you a letter from Te Wheoro reporting generally the result of his visit to Tokagnamutu. I have seen him myself and heard his story. The chief point is that it is proposed to have a meeting bye and bye at William Barton's or some other place in Waipa to which Manuhiri and Waikato with Maniapoto are to come. Time and place are left to be settled by Te Wheoro. He seems very sanguine and thinks that the mind of the King has been disclosed to him and that all is peaceful. They say that if Te Kooti should again attempt to be troublesome they will not abandon him but urge all their friends to put an end to him and his work. You will have a report about Ohinemuri from Puckey; I have not seen him yet. I mean to go to the Thames as soon as the Californian steamer comes in and try to arrange matters about the Telegraph that business hangs still very awkwardly. It seems that whilst the Natives were absent at Ohinemuri the contractor has been going on with the turrets and that there is anger in consequence on the native side. I have asked Te Wheoro to write a detailed account of what he told me and will send it by next opportunity if it be not ready to day. I am yours very truly, Daniel Pollen
