His Excellency the Governor to Inhabitants of the Hutt.
Gentlemen,—
It is very gratifying to me to know that the course pursued towards W. Kingi and the insurgents at Taranaki meets with your approval; and I thank you sincerely for your address of the 21st-September. I thank you also for the offer of your co-operation, and I assure you that every assistance which it is in my power to give has been, and always shall be, given to the General to enable him to conduct the war to a successful termination.
I have, &c.,
T. Gore Browne.
Messrs. A. Ludlam, Carlyon, and others.
