No. 142, Sess. I.—Pukapuka-inoi a Te Raimona Petera.
Ko te kai-pitihana he Haihana nei ia i mua no nga Hoia o Nui Tireni e ki ana i tukuna tana tono kia whakamutua tana mahi hoia i pangia hoki ia e te mate i te wa e whawhai ana ki nga Maori, a e inoi ana ia kia tukuna tetahi penihana mana tetahi atu ora ranei mona.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: Me tuku tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga kia whiriwhiria mai e ratou i runga i to ratou atawhai.
