Tonga, 13th April, 1875.

Sir,—His Majesty King George of Tonga, wishes me to inform your Honour that, as he has received official information through the British Consul of Samoa that measles are fearfully raging in Fiji and the adjacent islands, he has determined to draw up Quarantine Regulations for the several ports of the Friendly Islands as are in force in the port of Sydney; and takes the liberty of asking you to give official notice of the same to the merchants of Auckland, so that any vessels clearing for the Friendly Islands may bring with them a bill of health from your port so as to prevent unnecessary detention and annoyance.

I have, &c.,

SHIRLEY W. BAKER,
Senior Wesleyan Missionary of the Friendly Islands.

His Honour the Superintendent of Auckland Province.
