Tauira no te reta a te Pihopa o Niu Tireni e pa ana ki nga Karaati o Motueka.

E Ta,—

Hei kupu whakahoki atu mo nga patai i roto i to reta o te 20 o Pepuere, 1885. Me wha-kaatu e ahau ko aua karaati he mea whakaoti e te Kawana kua mutu nei, e hara i te mea tono naku. Kaore ano kia mahi noa mo enei karaati, e rangi he tiaki kau i aua whenua, ara he whakatu i tetahi tangata e tika ana kei Whakatu hei whakahaere i aua wahi. Kaore ano ahau kia muru noa i aua whenua. Kaore ano ahau kia hoko, kia whakaae ranei kia hokoa tetahi wahi o aua whenua; a kaore ano kia riro mai i ahau tetahi mea, moni reti ranei mo aua wahi.

Na inaianei kua kitea tera etahi mea nui e tika ana kia tirohia mo te ahua o te tiakanga mo enei whenua me nga moni e hua mai ana kia peheatia ranei, me te whai mana, pehea ranei o te Kawanatanga ki te Whakatu kaitiaki i runga i nga ritenga e pa ana ki enei mea. Na e kore e tika maku e whakaoti enei take, erangi tera au e mahi ki te whakahaere i enei whenua i runga i te tika ana tohungia mai e tetahi kooti tika e whai mana ana.
