No. 515, 1889.—Pukapuka-inoi a Hone Rapatini.
E inoi ana kia hoatu tetahi piihi whenua ki aia notemea kihai i whakaurua tona ingoa ki te iwi o Taumutu i te hoatutanga o tenei whenua kia ratou.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: Me tuku tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga kia whiriwhiria e ratou kia ahei te tuku atu ki a te Tiati Make kia whakawakia e ia.
