Taranaki, New Plymouth 26th. May 1847. Sir, In reply to your letter of the 14th. ulto. received on the 6th. inst. in reference to the exchange of land with E.Rangi on behalf of the Wesleyan Mission Society, I have the pleasure to inform you that arrangements have been entered into with that native to meet your application, which will be duly submitted for the approval of His Excellency the Lieut. Governor, when he is at this settlement. I remain Sir, Your very obedient servant (Signed) Donald McLean. Inspector of Police. To:- The Rev. H.H. Turton Wesleyan Mission Station New Plymouth. May 31st. 1847. Memo:- If Mr. Carrington finds it necessary, he will enlarge the boundaries of his present survey, by going along the Ngamangakawa stream instead of the Papuwai, as the course of the latter river would give a much smaller block than we expected. (Signed) Donald McLean.
