Governor+Grey+Story

Dear Governor Grey, I am writing to you because I am concerned about the impacts on New Zealand as a result of new immigrants.

I am concerned about the sudden massive increase in population. I am concerned because we keep receiving immigrants from Europe and Scotland, and New Zealand may become over populated.

I am also concerned about the amount of trees being cut down from the native forest. This is only happening because the Europeans and the Scottish will not stop emigrating and there are no houses for them to live in so they cut down our trees and use them for shelter, houses and farms.

Diseases are also very worrying. The Maori are catching many diseases from Europeans and are spreading them around the country. New Zealand doesn't have the correct medication or nurses to cure these diseases so they will just keep on spreading.

To conclude, Governor Grey, I feel the emigrants from Europe and Scotland are ruining our native forest and making us and the Maori ill, and they increasing the chance of over population here in New Zealand. I have realised you need to set some boundaries.

Yours Sincerely Alice Winter
