No. 3.
The Chief Commissioner to Mr. Commissioner Rogan.

Karioi.Approving of Price offered for the Block. Land Purchase Department,
Auckland, 17th August, 1855.

Sir,

I have the pleasure to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 9th instant, reporting that you have completed the survey of Karioi, and find its area to be about 12,000 acres, for which you have offered the Natives a sum of Four hundred and seventy-five pounds (£475), in addition to a sum of One hundred pounds (£100) previously paid on account of a portion of that land at Hutiwai. I consider the offer you have made is very judicious, and you may acquaint the Natives that they must consider it as conclusive.

I have, &c.,

Donald McLean.

John Rogan, Esq., District Commissioner.
