"To Thomas Williams,—
"Salutations. This is to ask you to seek out some remedy for us who were thrown out, and who got nothing from that land at Rangitikei. We did not take any of Dr. Featherston's money, nor did we sign our names to the deed of purchase of that land. Therefore we ask you to take up our cause with respect to the loss of our land, as well as of our money which was paid to the lawyers. Those who are with me number 25.
