The latter will be a very painful remark, yet I do not see how our case can be amended without we were all disposed mutually to explain and forgive, and give up all private interests for the general prosperity of the Settlement. At present I am very sorry to say there is but little prospect of unanimity. At the same time I believe it to be my indispensible duty, as far as I am concerned to be quiet, and as our grievances are merely about temporals perhaps things may be better in a little time. I wish you to send out general instructions (particularly if you send out Missionaries to our assistance) for the regulation of the temporal affairs of the Settlement. It would be the best for a Store room to be built and every family to be served in rations, as this would prevent a lavish expenditure of our provisions, and give satisfaction to every one. The Mechanic’s ought not in my opinion to refuse to do any work of which they are capable for the general body, when they have time, whilst they are supported at the expense of the Society. Should the Active not continue to come so often to New Zealand, The Committee ought to insist upon it that all articles of comfort which may at any time be procured from such vessels as come into the Bay, shall be purchased with the Society’s Society's property, as it may be conveniently spared according to the opinion of the Majority and divided by ration amongst the whole. I think more importance will be attached to your instructions than Mr Marsden’s in these points. You will perhaps hint to the Settlers that while they can be considered upon an equal footing with me as Settlers, yet they have no right to dictate to me in what I conceive to be my duty as a Magistrate. If we had been more united, and attention had been paid to my advice I do not think I should have received any personal insult from Sailors. Satan & men of the world triumph at the divisions that are amongst professing Christians. I am dear Sir faithfully yours Tho Kendall Hocken Archive Reference Number MS-0055/046 23MB image/tif 6.0 Uncompressed MD5 1ad66f33d17065a057cd9c88d3cf35bb ACEMC 2598 3204 RGB manuscript Hakena MS-0055/046 184 mm 225 mm 2014:05:15 13:16:02.36 University of Otago Library, Reprographics Unit digital still camera Canon Canon EOS 6D 11.0 1 Manual 0220 1 11.0 6.9 1.4 Multi-segment tungsten flash did not fire 50.0 mm (35 mm equivalent: 79.7 mm) 0 Subject is illuminated from the front side.
