[Translation.]
From Wi Tamihana Te Waharoa to Maungatapu, Parata, &c.

To Maungatapu, to Parata, and to you all,—

Friends, salutations to you all! Enough on that. This is a word of mine to you about your Pakeha, Capt. Heale, that he may confine his survey to the coast, and not come to Tawhitinui or Pouotu. Hearken! I have sent a letter to Capt. Heale. Hearken, again! I am idle, while you are at work—that is, surveying (or I am inactive, while you are busy.) Friends, let the work go no further than the coast: leave Tawhitinui and Pouotu alone. Friends, let your thoughts be good and straight; This is all I have to say to you. I salute you.

From Wi Tamihana Te Waharoa.
