Brief Description
A letter written by William Colenso to Mr Rolleston, addressed and dated Napier, Sunday 4 June 1882.
In the letter, William Colenso states that he has received printed proofs of the Māori Lexicon from the Native Office for correction. He expresses concern because he was only sent the first portion to proof (of the original proof documents he sent to Sir Donald McLean), and had not received any notification about the second portion which he stressed was of equal importance. He asks Mr Rolleston to get the second portion printed too.
