26th. May 1873. Dear Sir, I have just heard a runanga of Karaitiana and party is to be held at the Pa Keri Keri today. No Pake has to attend. I am unfortunately just starting to Waiapu but have arranged to get particulars of what is said and done. I imagine it is likely to be of political tendency rather than of land as Henare has not yet arrived. Yours most faithfully, T.W. Porter. Adjt.
