To His Excellency Sir George Grey,
Knight Commander of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath,
Administrator of the Government of the Colony of New Zealand and its Dependencies, &c., &c.,
Sir,—We, the undersigned inhabitants of the Province of Taranaki, desire, upon your Excellency’s return to New Zealand, to express our respect for the high motives which have led your Excellency to resume the government of the Colony at the present critical period, and confidence that your Excellency will be enabled to extricate the Colony from its difficulties. Your Excellency’s desire for the improvement of the Native race, and intimate knowledge of its character, assure us that every effort will be made to bring about a peaceful solution of those difficulties; failing this, your Excellency’s known determination and energy gives us confidence that the Natives will be compelled to submit to Her Majesty’s authority. Should, unhappily, war be unavoidable, we beg to assure your Excellency that we shall continue to render the cordial support we afforded the Imperial Government, during the administration of your predecessor, in the effort to establish law and order. This pledge from us may be considered as of more weight since our losses and sufferings from the war have already been heavier than those which usually fall to the lot of British subjects. Apart from the devastation of our farms and homesteads by the rebels, there are few of us who have not to deplore the loss of a relative or near connection by the great mortality that has ensued therefrom. We therefore look to your Excellency with hope and confidence, under our calamities, that peace may be established on such terms as shall ensure the permanent good of both races.

We have,
Taranaki, Oct. 25th, 1861.
