at Auckland this summer. A number of the natives from Wai Kawau are to see me on the subject before I return to town. With the exception of the Ngatipehi party, who hold possession of the Black Diamond territory, and are still obstinate, everything here seems to me to progress in a most satisfactory manner. I remain, my dear Sir, faithfully yours (Signed) John Rogan. To:- Donald McLean Esq.
