To:- Donald McLean Wellington Sept. 19th. 1868 From Taupo. 2 natives from Te Whiti brought letters to woman named Hiria who has two brothers amongst ex-prisoners. She was told not to let Paora Hapi know about it. He found it out and after great persuasion got it and copied it. Native Orderlies stop at Tarawera with wives of ex-prisoners; gives them information; should be stopped. Report Heu Heu again turned Hau Hau. Further news presently. (Signed) Fannin.
