Memorandum.
The lands alluded to in this letter are on the east side of Waiuku, and include Foley's claim, the circumstances connected with which are mentioned in my report, dated November, 1851, on claims at Waiuku. As far as I can learn, the writer's claims are valid, and as they are a party who have always opposed the sale of land to the Europeans, but have now come forward to offer land for sale, it would be attended with good effect, if a purchase were made from them, absorbing the claim of Foley, of which a portion has been sold to Mr. Codlin, provided they can settle with Katipa. The land offered is very desirable.
