No. 98.
Hohuate Te Ruirui to the Hon. D. McLean.

Otaki, 28th August, 1871.

"To Mr. Mclean, Native Minister,—

"Salutations to you. This is a word to you in reply to what you asked, namely, that Te Watene should come from Horowhenua (i.e., go away). Now, this is the word of all Ngatiraukawa. It will not be possible to move Te Watene from Horowhenua; let him remain there. Let Muaupoko also remain on their portion at Horowhenua. But the right thing is for Hunia and Te Keepa to go away from Horowhenua. It is not right for these mischievous persons to remain at Horowhenua. But let the Government be page cxlii strong in asking these persons who carry guns, build pas, burn houses, and cause all evils, by their thoughts, to move.

"From your people,

"Hohuate Te Ruirui.
