TO THE ELECTORS OF EGMONT. Gentlemen, — I see by advertisement in the Patea Mail that Mr. Sherwood proposes to publicly review my conduct as representative of Egmont. Tliis is fair and above board, and, so far as I am personally concerned, quite satisfactory. For you will not, I am convinced, prejudge an absent man, but — and this course, I am sure, will be in accordance with what Mr. Sherwood desires — suspend your judgment until you hear my reply, when I shall with pleasure and confidence leave the questions in dispute to your decision, j I am bound, however, to tell you that, the time selected by Mr. Sherwood for his address is most unfortunate in the interests of the district, coming as it does shortly before a General Election, and just when I have been asked to obtain, if possible,' some further help from Parliament for that important and necessary work, the Patea Harbor. I did hope that at this juncture, I should have had my hands strengthened by all true friends of the district. But I fear that I shall now find myself open to the imputation of promoting this necessary work, not upon its merits, but in order to secure my seat ; and few things in Parliament are more fatal to any cause than such an imputation, however unfounded. We all know that Mr. Sherwood has had his indictment of me in course of preparation for years past, and he has, I understand, given the .subject his special attention during the last three months ; su we may, I think, conclude that his case is as complete and strong as possible. My delinquencies, therefore, real and supposed, will now be fully before you, and, for the first time, in a tangible form. This is what I have long desired and asked lor at many meetings, but hitherto without success. I regret much that my public duties prevent my meeting you at once, but I will do so at the earliest possible date ; and I undertake that my replies shall be as definite aud complete as Mr. Sherwood's charges. In the meantime, 1 respectfully ask you to suspend judgment upon anything Mr. Sherwood may state until you hear my reply. H. A. ATKINSON. Wellington, lltb June. 372je18
