Richard Matthews, Auckland, July 6, 1852. Gentlemen, A life of retirement and privacy, and abstinence from politics, had in some measure impressed upon me the idea that 1 had become unapt for active exertion of a public nature. A requisition from so many of my fellow-citizens entertaining a different opinion, has led me to question the correctness of my view. I feel honored by the favorable opinion you entertain of me, and accept your invitation to become one of the candidates for the representation of the City of Auckland. Perhaps my chief recommendation may be, absence or anything like pledge, or connexion with any party. If elected, my strenuous efforts shall be exerted on behalf of my constituents ; and, in integrity of purpose and independence of act, I may safely state that no man shall go beyond me. 1 am, Gentlemen, Yours very respectfully, Thos. H. Bartley. To the Gentlemen signing the requisition.
