settlers have some little difficulties to contend with, in their first intercourse with them. But the cession of their country, increasing knowledge, and ameliorated circumstances, will soon bring about a perfectly amicable understanding. I am glad to observe that many of the Chiefs in this neighbourhood congratulate the Government on the successful termination of the present purchase, notwithstanding the opposition evinced by various tribes, when the negotiations were first undertaken. I have the honor to remain Sir, Your most obedient humble servant (Signed) Donald McLean. Inspector of Police. To:- The Honble. The Colonial Secretary Wellington.
