No. 311, 1889.—Pukapuka-inoi a Aroa Haereiti me etahi atu tokoiwa.
E Ki ana te kai-pitihana kihai i whakahaerea tikatia ta ratou keehi ki te aroaro o te Kooti Whenua Maori mo to Kinohaku-Hauamu Poraka a kihai i tika te whakahe a te Tiati Tumuaki ki ta ratou tono kia whakawakia tuaruatia. E inoi ana ratou kia whakaaetia te whakawa tuarua.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: Ki te whakaaro o tenei Komiti me tuku tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga kia uiuia nga tikanga e te Tiati Tumuaki o te Kooti Whenua Maori.
