No. 70.
The Chief Commissioner to Malcolm Fraser, Esq., Government Surveyor.

Referring to your letter respecting a reserve claimed by Te Kepa, on the Huangaroa River, I have the honour to request that you will at once mark out on the ground a reserve in that locality of two hundred acres, or thereabouts, for him, taking care to interfere as little as possible with European claims. In mentioning two hundred acres for the reserve you will be pleased not to confine yourself to the exact quantity; a due regard should be had to the disposition of the land and natural boundaries.
