Friend Roger,
Greetings to you, and indeed to all of you, both men and women, co-workers in the production of our newspaper, the Salient. I have been instructed by the Victoria University Maori Committee, the Te Reo Maori Society, and several others to convey to you all, our tremendous heartfelt thanks for the very successful way in which you fully publicised the National Maori Language Day. This publicity began in the issue dated August 29 right up to this, the 19th day of September. Perhaps it may still be continuing. We do say that, had it not been for you and our newspaper, the publicity of the day would not have been so far-reaching. Certainly, we acknowledge the important part played by Television and Radio; and to some extent by the newspaper. But all of you, with you (editor) as your leader, put a tremendous amount of work into it. You fought well in the campaign for the success of our day, and you emerged the victors; that is, everything went well, and everything was done well. Those issues of the Salient came out with the fullest satisfaction.
Yours sincerely.
Hemi Potatau
