Enclosure 6 in No. 1.

Otaki, 9 Mei, 1866.

Ki a Petatone,—

Tena koe. Kua kite au i toku ingoa i te Nupepa. E hara i au i tuhi toku ingoa, engari he mea pokanoa na Parakaia, kaore au i kite, kaore au i tuhi ho mea pokanoa toku ingoa ki te Nupepa. Heoti ano.

Na Matene Te Whiwhi.

[Translation.]

Otaki, 9th May, 1866.

To Dr. Featherston,—

Salutations to you. I have seen my name in the newspapers. It was not I who wrote my name; rather did Parakaia write it of his own accord. I did not see. I did not write. My name was written without my permission in the newspapers. That is all.

Matene te Whiwhi.
