I read that Tawhiao the Maori King and the chiefs from New Zealand is in London. I take the liberty by asking you if you can favour me with their address I shall feel very thankfull. My reason for so asking is I once was serving on board of his majesty ship Callipe 26 guns Captain Edward Stanley date 1846 and it would seem nice to have a chat of the past I have a government medial which I will show for services in New Zealand from date 1846 to 1849 when we return to England since then I have be residing at Sydenham whear I still live.
I am yours obedient,
