Wellington, May 10, 1860.
Sir,—I have much pleasure in informing you that the Provincial Council, at their sitting on Wednesday last, unanimously voted a sum of One Thousand Pounds for the relief of their fellow-colonists at Taranaki.
I lose no time in enclosing you a draft on the Union Bank at Nelson for the sum of Five Hundred Pounds, and shall be prepared to remit a similar amount very shortly, or whenever you may advise me that further funds are required.
I beg, on behalf of the inhabitants of this Province, that you will have the goodness to convey to our fellow settlers of Taranaki the assurance of our deepest sympathy with them, and of our warm admiration of their gallant conduct in the field.
I have, &c,
I. E. Featherston,
