T t “Advocate” Office, I Water St.. Whangarei. f Tuesday, July it), 1938. I • Dear Northlanclers — 4 4 We’ve been on the trail again this week and have • had two more visits to add to our list of adventures. | Princess and I are very excited about next week j though. On Monday we set out for the Far North, f and for seven days or so will be stationed at KaL*ala, | visiting many places in that vicinity. • Letters are being posted today, and if any other f Northlanders wish to see us they may communicate | with us by sending a letter to the “Advocate” Office,. | Kaitaaa. It will be a great adventure, and there ? should be many tales to tell upon our return. i This week, of course, we’re all excitement about i the Benefit BalL As Kangatira of the Northland f Tribe, I’m being featured in a Maori song, and that | is no small honour for our Kupe Club. | Speaking of visits—as I was a paragraph or so | before—l must warn you not to take too much notice j of what the Princess has to say about suppers. You i see, I happen to have a weakness for “Afghans,” and f just because this particular favourite of mine | appeared at supper time, once this week. Princess ? Raranga simply had to invent tales about my ? appetite. | ~J : 'j£; 4 • I’m afraid this is a terribly disjointed letter. But I who could think properly with visits, and balls and • hakas positively swimming about one’s head? | H.Q. is a thrilling place these days. f j Kangatira, Northland Tribe. f
