"To Mr. Williams,—

"This is to ask you to make clear to us some plan by which I and my hapu, Ngatitukorehe, may get justice. We number 50—men, women, and children. We, none of us, took any money, nor did we get any land; nor did any of us sign our names to Dr. Featherston's deed of purchase. We expended, with the lawyers, on the survey, and our visits to Wellington and Rangitikei, £110.

Friend, do you be strong to seek out some way whereby we may get our rights.
