Wellington, 9th June, 1872.

JOHN HOLLIDAY,
Harbour Master.

Letter from Dr. Featherston to Kawana Hunia and others.

THE following letter is published for the information of the Native Tribes mentioned therein:—

7, Westminster Chambers,
Victoria Street,
Westminster, S.W., March 28, 1872.
(England)

To Kawana Hunia,

Friend,—Salutations to you. Salutations to you and to the whole of your Tribe—to the old women, and to the old men at your Kainga. I greet you lest you should say that because I am at a distance from you, my thoughts of you have become estranged.

No; my love and thoughts for you continue the same, it will never cease. I am constantly hearing the news from our Island and my heart is rejoiced on account of the termination of the evil, that is the war. This is my word to you, that is, to you all, if a thought occurs to you write to me, I will not disregard your letter, though the ocean separates us.

A Father’s love to his children does not diminish, therefore my love will not diminish towards my Maori friends, at Rangitikei, at Manawatu, at Otaki, at Wairarapa and all the places adjacent to Wellington.

This is a letter of remembrance: enough.

From your dear Parent,
I. E. FEATHERSTON.
