peaceably never mind by what agency it is accomplished - "Kati tena" - Perhaps you were surprised at my telegram saying that I was sorry the order for Mair going to Te Whetu Ngatiraukawa meeting had been countermanded - Pollen evidently has quite mistaken your letter sent by the "Luna" I have a note now before me which I received from Pollen by the "Ringleader" in which he states "I have orders to allow Mair to go to Te Whetu" - Your telegram to Mair is quite clear and satisfactory and how Pollen could have made such a blunder I don't know. My only wish for Mair to be present was to get a report out of him and to see whether his views and Lockes agreed.
