once to Ohinemutu. The upshot of it is that Henare is left with about 15 men. I have picked up two or three men to take me through, to Fort Galatea. I am awfully worried about these fellows not going, and I have been very seedy with boils. I will try and make Fort Galatea the day after to-morrow. Yours faithfully (Signed) Gilbert Mair. [N.B. There are several letters written in Maori, (not accompanied with translations) which are pinned together, and endorsed ''True Copy'' (by Gilbert Mair), and connected with Henare Ngati-Whakanae.]
