[Page of descriptive text for drawings 18-23]

Short explanations of drawings 18-23 in the sketchbook. Transcribed as:

'18. Parsonage house at Kaikohe – a native settlement about 12 miles from Waimate – it is at Kaikohe that the celebrated agitator, repealer Antipodes Dan O’Connell reigns, though there is a nice pa and set of people besides. The Revd R Davis is the deacon appointed for this district.

19. Paparahi or Hakari – the stage erected for the native feast given to the neighbouring chiefs by John Heke in the season of his troubling (?) – this stage is piled up from its several stories with kits of potatoes, meat, fish and the long pole, John Heke called the Kawana (governor) and tied a rope round his neck – both still remain.

20/21. New Zealand Church Architecture Numbers – 1 & 2 – The chapel of ease at the Kerikeri (inside and out). The colours are not fictitious but realities – a rather graceful combination – Mr Cotton is walking up to the reading desk which is placed behind the communion table – on the right are the two Miss Kemps & their brother – children of the catechism on the left are some native girls who constitute Mr Kemp’s school. The outside of the chapel has a most original feature namely the green verandah – no improvement in my opinion.

22. View of the Bay of Islands taken from the road between Kerikeri and Paihia.

23. The best place in New Zealand Paihia – the first house on the left is Archdeacon Williams – the next a stone printing office – the next Mrs Stanley’s Ladies School House.'
