This is to tell you that there is a great deal of trouble about the houses which Wiremu Te Wheoro is building at Te Kohekohe. I have been to talk to the Waikato chiefs and to request them not to raise any difficulty about those houses, but they were not pleased ; they said to me that the School house should bo at Taupari. I have beeu thinking therefore that perhaps they are right, and that the school had better perhaps be brought back to Taupari. When you return to Auckland we had better come to town and talk with you about those houses at le Kohekohe, and about the affairs of Waikato. . . _, . , To Governor Grey, From your loving friend, Auckland.
