As requested by you, we have directed that a draft for £90.0.0, on the Union Bank
of Australia at Auckland, be sent you to pay the return fares of Elders A. L. Stewart,
Alexander Bullock and H. J. Burgess.

To recur again to the question of the emigration of the Maoris, we
find ourselves perplexed as to what arrangement to make for the Sandwich Islanders
who have emigrated to this city. There is quite a large number of them now here,
and the mode of life here is not suited to their proper training, and we have
felt very much exercised for their welfare. Three of the brethren who have labored
among them on the Island—Brothers W. W. Cluff, F. A. Mitchell and H. H. Cluff—have
been appointed, with three native brethren, to examine various locations that
would be suitable for them to settle upon. We desire to have them separated, to
some extent at least, from the temptations of city life, where they can be trained
to better advantage than they can here. If we find a suitable place, they will
move there; and we may find it necessary to appoint one or two Elders who are
familiar with the language to labor among them. When we have disposed of this
question in a successful manner, we can then perhaps take into consideration the
question of moving the Maoris also. They are kindred races, and the course that
will be taken with the Sandwich Islanders can also be adopted for them.

We feel that you should be released from your mission. You have
