Sir, Salutation to you.

A meeting of all the Maori tribes will assemble—

First—At the Treaty of Waitangi Hall, Bay of Islands, on the 13th of March, 1889.

Second—At Okahu, near Auckland, on the 25th of March, 1889. For the consideration of two important questions concerning the Treaty of Waitangi.

1. To consider all disputes that have arisen contrary to the Provisions of both the Treaty of Waitangi and the 71st Section of the New Zealand Constitution Act, 1852. These greivances will have to be dealt with by a Court of Law.

2. To consider all Statutes affecting the Maoris and their lands, and to abolish the same as they were made contrary to the Provision of both the Treaty of Waitangi and the 71 Section of the New Zealand Constitution Act, 1852, and to let the Maoris have the whole management for colonization of their own State by themselves, and such other matters as may pertain to the mutual benefit, happiness and prosperity, of both races. Therefore we invite you to be present on the occasion, and our hearty welcome will be extended to you.

From your Friends, Paul Tuhaere, Hemara Taumatini, Heta Paikea, S. D. Taiwhanga, M.H.R.
